nice finds!!!!
Nancy there was a swimming lake- spring fed on white sandy soil and white clay- looks like Florida panhandle almost. i got to hunt some. the mercs would come out either blued looking or shiny silver- then some would come out blued looking on one side- water side up, and shiny on the down side. hows that for wierd? the water is crystal clear underneath but has tannic acids in it, that gives it that black water look on top layer of water. a foot below the surface it is clear because the tannins come up. i think that has a lot to do with the way the coins came out. the mercs were no key dates so i just tossed them in a tumbler with walnut shell median and they looked like a new blued gunbarrel on the dark side. no harm to the coin as book value was low. just made them pretty. i soaked a damaged one in various stuff and it remained dark. put them up for grand kid.
