Pile of quarters from 2008 produce some winners. "1876, 1937, 1947"

I find a lot of clad coins at the beach and to tell yo the truth I don't check very often to see if any of the daily coins are Worth anything.

Well, I decided to look through this bag of quarters that I found during the summer of 2008. I was able to identify the three that are shown in the pictures, but if any one can tell me what to use to clean some of the other coins I would appreciate it.

NICE CHUNKA CHANGE

i cant imagine diggin silver and not knowing it.

the thing is. u want to examine as found . unless u have a very

short hunt and are pinched on time.

otherwise u would not know where the silver came from

BECAUSE U WOULD want to search that area xtra careful

and also to be able to return there if wanted...

great finds, as far as cleaning the clad quarters dimes and nickels I just through them in a tumbler with sand and white vinegar, glad you got some silver as well. thanks for sharing and hh.........ps do not use the above cleaning method on older valuable coins, what I do with them is to soak them in olive oil for a week or so then clean with a q-tip. If the coin is particularly valuable don't clean it at all, have a professional do it...hope this helps

That's the way I was when I first started with this hobby back in 1978. I took everthing from a days find and threw it in one pound coffee cans. I think I found three cans full of coins when I started back MDing this past Summer. I had no idea what I had thrown in there for all those years. It was before internet finds were every day news on sights such as this one.
I just dug a coin and never really cared or thought much of what I had. Stupid, or whatever I just had fun getting a signal and finding a coin in the process.
Have a great day hunting.
