Not sure about the best way to clean a nickel but I've heard lemon juice is the trick for cruddy silver .

I can't tell from your pix, need to know a date on your dime before we try and clean it, same with your nickel. You never know if it is the right date could be worth money. Good luck

Try and get a better pic if you can so we can see detail, all I can tell is that the edge on dime is reeded.

Nice digs.

If you're sure the dime is silver then try the baking soda/water/in foil method to reduce the blackness.

Nice finds and congrats on your first!

I've had a buff on my 'wanted" list since I started doing this 9 years ago. So last month, I take my kid to the local park, loan him my Whites, amd he pops out a 34 Buff in about 5 mins. Dang! Right in a spot I'd been over at least twice. Ya never know, huh?

Great finds for sure.
