First experiment into electrolysis...

Read Mikes(Va Beach) post about electrolysis and decide to see what I could do about my 1916-D Walker. Sooo made myself a little setup and experimented with a cruddy no date SLQ. I will show before and after pics to show a sweet difference from the before [attachment 20107 silver05j.jpg009.jpg]and after pics[attachment 20108 silver05j.jpg011.jpg]. Just kinda hard to believe these are the same coin. I will attempt tomorrow to work on the Walker!
 
Hope your Walker turns out like the Standing Liberty.
 
Nice job man! That stuff DOES work. I think the Walker is going to be beautiful...looking forward to seeing that.

One thing I do when I do mine is to let it fizz for a minute or two until it's completely shrouded in fizz, then take it out and use a little warm water and dishwashing liquid to gently rinse it to get some black off, then put it back in and repeat until it's perfect. The worse the black is, sometimes it takes a few sessions, sometimes it comes off real quick.
 
hi;
what do you in your solution salt? or baking soda ? i've heard of quite a few different solutions what is your's?
 
it takes away some silver. I've tried this once but don't have silver as black as your coin though. Here is a link to another method that claims to do the trick without removing any silver at all...

What do you guys think? Try it on a non so precious silver coin first!
 
Here is my 1907S filipinas one peso silver that I found years ago. I just tried the electrolysis for the first time today also. It was so black you could barley see the coin. What do you think? Matt
 
Hi Mike. Could you send me a private message and give me some of your settings for beach hunting? I might be heading to Ocean Shores in the near future and any help on beach hunting would help as I have never done any. Thanks.

The coin looks great and would be hard to tell that it was ever black. Good job!
