Found Some Silver & 1800's Coins

[E-Trac-Ohio]

Been very busy around work but I was still able to get out on a few hunts last week.
These finds are from a few different sites on different days.
Hunted a 1800's Cellar Hole and on a vacant lot where the house burned down around 80 or 90 years ago.

Indian Cent - 1866
Mercury Dimes - 1917 & 1945 - (the 1917 is well worn and has some fire damage)
( 10 ) - Wheat Cents - (from 1917 to 1956)
( 16 ) - Newer Clad Coins - (not shown)
( 2 ) - 1800's Flat Buttons
Silvertone Necklace - (newer - stamped - "Nine West Vintage America Collection"

Good Hunting !

Nice keepers and on the 1917 merc, my guess is oxidation as fires melt coins.
Thanks for postin'

Them Indians are hard to find--and it's an old one, too. Couple of very nice mercs. Bunch of nice wheaties. And some flat buttons, clad and a necklace to top it off. Overall, a very nice haul for the week!

Your right xr7ator - it could be Oxidation.
I've also found several other Silver coins that are in similar condition.
They were under driveway stone and were run over by cars for many years.
