A neclace found

The other day I found a neckless that was so encrusted and black I started to toss it. The links were almost welded together with encrustation. It took quiet a bit of manipulation to get it freed up. I haven't attempted to clean it yet but it has been in the sand so long that it is pitted and I can't see a hallmark of any kind. It was approx. 10 in deep and actually gave a distinct high tone and vdi of 26-28.
 
I get those crusy SILVER chains a good bit...... they have like a gray crust to um. Most machines will get um pretty deep too.
 
Congrats on the silver chain!

My problem I have found is that when they get in that condition, they often have lost a lot of silver to sulfide conversion. I have dug what would have been really nice, big chains and there is very little left of them.
