Forgotten picnic ground update

[osgood]

Since my first post have made a number of trips back to the old picnic grounds. Several weeks ago took about 5 hours to find these 2, 1920 wheat backs, a 1925 buffalo nickle, a 1920 mercury dime and two barber dimes, 1898 and 1907.Not shown, a couple modern nickles. Decided to only slightly clean the dimes, the dark tarnish in that area seems to high-lite the details more. I almost did not dig the 98 barber, it was id ing like a penny, i will say this, it is one of the thinnest dimes ive ever found and was actually slightly concave.Two more ugly knives showed up also. The trip after this one i hunted 3 hours and got nothing but please stay tuned!. Good hunts all, CO

Osgood, First those are great finds. I have yet to find anything more than a few buffalo's
and several merc's. I know some say do not clean. If I had a coin I was intending to sell
because it was proven worth some huge bucks, I would not clean further than soap-tooth brush-
hot water. However, some I find are valuable but not worth the trouble to sell I clean, especially
jewelry. My wife bought me a jar of silver cleaner for jewelry and a jar of gold cleaner for jewelry.
She got it from Wally World (W-M) and it is about $4.00 a jar. The jar has a basket for putting
your coin or jewelry in and a brush for crevases but I use a hard bristle tooth brush instead and
both gold and silver regardless of whether it is a coin or jewelry comes clean as a jeweler can
get them. I haven't looked for a copper cleaner yet. Some of my most valuable coins are rare
pennies. Also, I think the silver works on the nickels too.

Great pics you have done real well at the forgotten picnic grounds. Can not believe your still finding silver.
