Ice cold silver dolphin at low tide

[lorraine]

Hi ,

It hit 30* mid-day with lots of wind; my choice was watching the Honda Classic on Golf Channelor metal detecting at low tide;now, I ask you...which would you have chosen

So off to the beach again hunting low tide "muddy flats" . Got 2 hrs. of exercise and after

finding oh, so many pennies I finally dug up a heavily tarnished ring about 8 inches down in

thick , cold mud...I loved every minute of it

Here's some pics

Thanks for looking Lorraine

p.s found the Russian coin yesterday; I am including a pic of it in this post.




Dolphin motif/ 3.78gms. stamped 925




This coin is worth $0.14 in American currency

Nice work in poor conditions. I found one of those 5 Ruble coins out at Siesta Key last year. Maybe we could trade them for Stolichnaya !

Lorraine! You're a girl after my own heart. The worse the weather, the more I like it. Funny, I found a ruble coin here in St. Aug. You just never know

WTG Lorraine, a Lady Pirate that's taking no prisoners . You did a wonderful job cleaning up the silver ring. I like it.

I hunt a spot that I have found foreign coins from all over the world. No idea what they are until I come home and research them.

 

[lorraine]

I too, have a collection of foreign coins; I enjoy researching their origin. Some are very ornate.

Maybe if you post a few, we can help you ID them.

Lorraine, how to clean silver?

Lorraine, how to clean silver?

Hi, For heavily tarnished items, I electrolyze the item, rinse it off; place it in Tarn-X for a few minutes; rinse and scrub with baking soda using a mild brush to get all the tarnish off; repeat the Tarn-X /scrub as many times as necessary, then shine with jeweler's rouge..black chalk For mildly tarnished I just do the soaking in Tarn-X /scrubbing method Lorraine
