FINALLY got my first silver(s)........EVER!! :crazy:

I like to clean my common silver coins too. Just use a generous amount (it's cheap) of moistened (with water) baking soda, and rub this baking soda paste on your mercs (one at a time, of course). Place only your thumbs and index fingers on the coin when you rub them with the paste. You should start to see them shine up real fast, and your fingers turning black at the same time. Repeat as necessary.

Thanks for the tip.
I tried it and boy, you were not lying! It is clean and shiny now with very little effort. Awesome!

Who, check those new sports fields too, they might have built them right over the older one, and most likely did. 100 to 150 acres will keep you busy for a very long time.

It's a thrill any time to find silver, but when it's your very first, that is a heart throbbing thrill for sure. Very happy for you. The U.S. silver dimes contain 0.07234 ounces of silver. They are the same size as the newer clad dimes, but the silver dime does weigh more than the clad, of course. Today's spot price for silver is about $18.80 per ounce. Therefore, the silver dime is worth around $1.36 in silver content alone. It also contains 10% copper. If we were still paying for our gasoline with silver dimes, it would only cost two dimes or twenty cents per gallon. How about that? Gasoline price hasn't changed in 90 years, the money is losing its power. So, keeping hunting those silvers.
