UPDATED:2 Spots today... Silver, Gold, Lead Ball and an old mystery coin, OH MY!

[FooserPaul]

Hello ALL!

Itsn't this an AWESOME HOBBY! I am so so so so so ..... happy with dirt on my knees and under my finger nails! :-P

Anywho... I was at two spots today...

I started early with some nice sliver/gold in the form of this earring... It has a 1990 date and is stamped 925

Within 5 feet this ring popped out... No 925 stamp... so probaly junk...

OK... not sure as I never dug a lead ball... but this sucker is heave and looks like an old lead muskey ball

On to possibly the most interesting mystry in my world today...

Its a MM or so.. smaller that a dime and a little thinner... and I can't see anything on it :-(

Your thoughts? Peroxide it?

Thx for looking and any input you might have!

but does silver ever get encrusted with green coming out of the ground? sure seems like it would be an old copper coin

You need to cook it I think its a 1777 1/2 reale

Hey Paul if you want to try electrolysis as suggested I have a set up you could use.

The thought of cooking the coin scares me...

Here is update after hours with Mr. Boiling Peroxide...

Not sure I'm making any headway...

Other suggestions?

Is it my imagination or does this look like a date....1884 or the like?
