Awesome silver coin finds, justdigging50, and good vid! :headbang:
You've got the right machine to find the deep silver.

I can see in your video that you wanted to be very careful not to scratch your silver coins, but your pics of them show micro scratches all going in one direction. That's a sign of over zealous rubbing. Use extra care when trying to clean your old silvers, especially those barbers and seateds. Most times, the natural patina of a barber/seated is more desired than a super-cleaned, shiny one.

Congrats,

I think you shot your load . I wouldn't expect to find another seated in that condition for a real long time. That coin looks near mint.
 
A great day in my book. That seated looks like it was lost when it was new. Barber's not too shabby either. :thumbsup:
 
Congrats on the two dimes. They both look to be in great shape.

Would love to find some silver here that is as good as the silver you pulled from the ground. Both the
Barber and the Seated are in nice, nice condition. Slow and careful, slow and careful when cleaning silver
is the word. Hope you find some more in that condition. Good luck. H.H. hikeinmts :thumbsup:
 
nice coins! I really like it when people post videos!
