Hi there..I need some help on what I can use on the other 2 coins too clean them up more so i can see what they may be..I no one is a gaming token and not sure of the other and the lead hollow ball have no clue.Also the other silver coin which says on it white gold not sure what that is neither..I haven't had it tested too see if it is real white gold..So any help will be appreciated.I found this stuff at a house that was boarded up in by me in New Jersey..Did some research on the house and it was built in the late mid too late 1800's...So still not sure what any of it is and could use some insight on what they may be and how too clean them up with out damaging them... Thanks Jim...Also this is my first time out with my new whites m-60... Im shaking still...lol was so excited the coins were all with in 6 inches around the first plug I dug and were about 5 inches in the ground... Hope I can post these pics here goes...

Interesting tokens, at least you had fun researching them.

For future its the 'look' of the silver coloured token that gave it away, its hard to describe but it has a moulded look on the detail & not a struck look. Put it next to a good condition silver & see the differences in its 'look'.

Also you said it rang up in the silver range on your vdi, I keep saying to those that want better finds or are learning, ignore the vdi, never look at it & 'listern'.

Happy Hunting.
