Re: Big Silver Day + Gold
Was that you out there with the big dredge? :lol: Wow 30 silvers...that has to be your new record. I can see it now...all you can see is someone's head sticking out of the water with a constant gin on it :rofl: Kinda hard to do a happy dance in the water. Congrats on a super hunt, even for Angel :lol: I'm all :envious: :envious: :envious:

Thanks, George! Believe me, I did several happy dances. It's a good thing I was in the water. :lol:
Re: Big Silver Day + Gold
OMG!!! :shocked04:
Even I can't believe this. I need to get in the water!!!
I can't BELIEVE how many religious pendants you find in one hunt!!
What an incredible assortment of finds. That is an absolutely amazing day. Congrats on the silver and gold!!
BTW, how are you now going to dig up just twelve or thirteen silvers at a time with the poor neglected E-Trac? :lol:

Thanks, Angie. :)
My E-Trac is not neglected... it's just taking a short vacation. :lol: And finding a couple of silver coins with it at the parks will still be fun. :cheesysmile:
Re: Big Silver Day + Gold
I just might buy myself an Excal to start some shallow water hunting after reading this :shocked04: :shocked04:. Congrats on a great day, are you going to try some electrolysis to clean up the silver??

I think I just saw a truck pull up and dump a bunch of baking soda at his place :lol:
Re: Big Silver Day + Gold
Congratulations Angel on such a successful hunt with such wonderful finds! The toning on those buffs is amazing! The colors really are beautiful. I guess the good thing about hunting in neck-deep water is you never have to take a pee break :peace:

Re: Big Silver Day + Gold
Holy cow that's a lot of Walkers to find in a day!
I've been eagerly waiting for your silver finds over in the dirt hunter's side of the forum... Glad I took a peek over in Beaches, Ponds, and Lakes.
WTG!
Re: Big Silver Day + Gold
Thanks, Stang! :thumbsup01:
Well, I removed the sulfide from the Walking Liberty halves using the baking soda and aluminum method. It took four attempts before the thick sulfide peeled off from the halves. They look fairly decent now while still showing some of the leftover tarnish. :smitten: Removing the sulfide also revealed that the 1919 Walker has an 'S' mint mark. Not as low mintage as the 1919, but still a nice one to have. :yes:

Re: Big Silver Day + Gold
MAN! Looks to me like you've got an unhunted swimming hole!
Awesome!
BTW... thought of you today when I was out there in the water. I stepped into the water and the words Shallow and Silver struck me.
Beautiful coins!
Re: Big Silver Day + Gold
Holy $&#*!!!!
This is just straight up depressing. Am I swinging the right end of my detector? Holy cow.
You have in one hunt made as many good finds as I have so far this year!
WOW.
Congrats!!!
Re: Big Silver Day + Gold
:shocked04: :shocked04: :shocked04:
You really can find silver! Congrats.
I'll bet $10 you could probably pull a few Barber's and Mercs from the potted plants and flowers around my house... inside and out! :lol:
Keep at it!
