Using electrolosis..........

I have shared this in the past but would like to share again since we have several new people here. I found a small sterling ring yesterday morning in a lake. It is from the 40's or 50's. When silver is lost in the water it turns black. If it has been there a long time it develops a black crust like this one.
Below you will see the before, during, and after affects of using the electrolosis. I plan to put together a video of do a live talk at our detecting club next month on the subject.

Man! That ring came out GREAT! I have two "antique" silvers that I found. Keep meaning to clean them up.

Anyway, my friend Glenn has his own MD forum TreasureDigging.com and made this electrolysis vid.

Wow - thanks for the how-to video! I will have to try that out on some of my dirty crusty relics I have found.

Thank you for starting this post! I have read up on it and people have told me but nothing speaks volume like pictures and Joe's video of his friend sizzling the belt buckle to cleanliness. Cool.

Sure did a good job cleaning up the beautiful ring, Mike, and thanks Joe for the video on how to do electrosis method of cleaning the black and dirty crust off of old finds...picture directions are better than words but at my age I probably won't ever do this but does look easy with the right equipment! May God Bless! Amen! :angel: Ma Betty
 
Hello! Nice forum! I wonder if you can help me with a question. If you find gold dust in gravel or sand deposits, is there a way to pull the gold dust out of the sand or water with electrolysis? Please excuse my bad spelling. My keyboard is starting to go. My log in name should be gold questions, not gold qestions! :)
 
Not sure I can answer that question, but I would guess with a unit that had enough power it would break up the gravel????
Never heard of that being done, so I am sure there are better ways of doing it???
Try one of the gold prospecting forums.

God bless.

Mike
