Quicksilver

[Ray in CA]

Er, rather, a quick silver dime! Had about a half hour to kill before picking up a pizza tonight and was on my way to the silver schoolyard when I passed by a side street and noticed a sidewalk partly tore up. Took out the Safari and in less than ten minutes had myself 3 wheaties and a 1927S Merc. Not bad for a quick hunt!

I also have a new token that I'm soaking in lime juice right now. Not quite sure what it is but it looks like a smaller version of the Washington state tax tokens I've been finding.

HH,

Thanks folks!

Okay, I got a lot of crusty stuff off the aluminum token by soaking it in lime juice for a few hours. After looking at it very closely it seems that it's just a regular Washington state tax token. The date is also the same as all other tokens I've found with dates...1935.

The reason it must be smaller than normal is because I believe someone must have ground down the rim for some reason, which made it much more susceptible to corrosion.

Mystery solved.
