5 hours...NO wheaties...but 7 keepers...all silver and injuns'

all of this happened because you were trying to look cool in front of the 4 women sunbathing about 20 feet away...and DID NOY PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU WERE DOING:crazy: :crylol:

Yep...you looked pretty suave bouncing off the concrete...then sitting in the water.:cool:
That's why the ladies left laughing...and I didn't help you out right away. No need for BOTH of us to look dumb:smoke: :lmfao:
 
Thanks Yeti.

They were obviously quite impressed with Swampy's balancing and hunting skills.:biggrin: That's why they left laughing and shaking their heads:smoke:

Funny....that's the same reaction I had:cool:
 
what wonders that works...as you can see from my pics.

I just love finding them...and am not worrying about selling them

Now on key dates or nice coins...all I do is rinse them in warm water.

On the normal silver though...or heavily tarnished ones....a little baking soda between the fingers..and a quick warm water rub of about 5 seconds...and bingo.
 
Bryce - Gotta drop in once in a while to see the great finds you guys pull out with the deep Aussies.

Your skill really impresses, but...

You're breaking my heart with the baking soda!:rofl:
 
I only do it on the common silver coins that have absolutely no other value other than the silver content anyway.:)..and it's a very quick, light rub of about 5 seconds:rolleyes:
Thanks for responding buddy. I would have never told anyone...but they asked how I got some of the silver so clean...and I had to tell them:cool:

Now for the record...fellers'...do NOT use baking soda or other types of cleaners on good silver coins as it can destroy the value.:beers:
 
Bryce - B.S. or not, they're nice. And I knew you wouldn't be B.S.ing that 16-D...

By the way, that 1905 Indian is a high-grade beauty!
 
Baking soda works quite well for shining up silver coins of no other numismatic value.
Works reasonably well for dislodging dirt from indian heads too.

DO NOT use it on any silver coin you suspect might be valuable due to its rarity or grade. It will look nice and shiny, but will severely damage any value it might have had. (and anybody looking at it who knows what they're doing will be able to tell quite easily it was cleaned). Not that anybody's planning to sell their finds, but you could change your mind someday for whatever reason and it's too late at that point.
 
Nice finds man!!!
