I went back to the site where my son found his mercury dime this past Saturday. First of all, I owe him an apology because I told him this site was worthless since the first time I hunted there, I barely had any targets. His response was that I was impatient (I won't admit or deny it). Here are my finds for a three hour hunt and these have to be the ugliest silver ever but I'm not complaining.

Thanks for looking.

This is not acceptable! I am kicking myself for not staying at that site longer! You know there's more there too. Congrats on some sweet digs.

Looks pretty good to me! :yes:

FYI: That bent SLQ will straighten out easily if you have the inclination. Just place it between two pieces of thin cardboard and give it one moderate whack with a hammer.

I agree that silver isn't ugly, just bent a little. I got a 1/2 reale that was bent. I put it between two pieces of hard wood and hit it with a hammer. It straightened it out pretty good. ;)

That's some beautiful Ugly Silver you found. :clapping:
The SLQ is a tough one to find. Add a Merc to the mix and I'd be one happy camper.
Congrats on some nice keepers.

Thanks everyone especially for the tips about straightening out the coin which I have done.

There's no such thing as ugly silver. Just some that looks better than others! lol

Those are far from ugly. I have silver that have been cut, that have been chewed by lawnmowers and are encased in corrosion.

What you found are just everyday silvers!

:clapping: No such thing as ugly silver, and SLs are way to hard to find to be talking about them. Great hunting |:confused:)
