Quick hunt before dark at a colonial river landing that is still an active landing today. It was also where a British raiding party in 1813 came ashore to gather intelligence before moving further upriver and burning most of a town there. Not a lot of signals but almost everything I found had some age to it. Everything I dug is pictured minus a few bits of modern trash. Best find was the 1842 half dime. It was less than an inch below the surface on the beach at low tide. Seated #10 fty and Seated #40 since I started the hobby in 2015:headbang: Cleaned it up a bit too

How would one go about cleaning a coin like that one?

Electrolysis I think. You never know what kind of condition river silvers are going to be in. Some look great. Some toasted. This ones somewhere in the middle
