Big Gold and ALOT OF SILVER....:cam:

[Mrchile]

[size=large]The silver came by way of the Excal
But decide to dry sand for a bit...
Swung my 14" Excelerator coil on my EX 2 for about an hour
The 14K - 15.1 gram Gold nugget ring was the result[/size]

Its better to electrolysis old silver coins slowly with just a few bubbles comeing off of them than to do it quickly with a boiling action.

Electroysis at any speed pits coins, but the faster the more damage is done. If you do it slow, you don't notice the damage without a magnifying glass.

Thanks for the info.......

But I ruined a key date barber dime one time...

Since then I use a adjustable transformer ( 1.5 volts to 14 volts )

I usually run it at 4.5 volts for a couple minutes at a time

You have to remember these coins have been in the water for "some over a hundred years"

The water naturally electrolysis these coin before I find them..

I only run the high volts on silver chains and rings..

Didn't realize salt water would do that much damage.
Never found a silver coin on the beach. Sounds like
you already learned about electroysis. Silver sure
looks alot better coming out of a park.
