My Buddy And I Did A Relic Hunt Today With Our AT Pros.......:detecting::detecting:

[John-Edmonton]

Met at Mac Doggies for some breakfast, then headed out to a couple of old areas, which have produced some goodies, and today was no exception. Lots of knee-bends and the rewards were paid in silver.

Got some old vintage die cast toys. One still had a stamp on the bottom, the firetruck did not. Great finds, to stir up some old memories.

Here's the best coins dug today. Any day you find silver is a good day.

We got a nice war "V" nickel. The US ones are part silver, ours are made of tombac, similar to brass. They are nice to work with to form coin rings. I have also made some coin rings out of US war nickels too!

Nice silver and nice rings John. How do you get that old brass to look like new ?

I use a dremmel tool/felt buffer with jeweler's rouge or MOTHERS.

Thanks John. I'm familiar with Mothers products for car care but wouldn't think of using it for jewelry. If it works it works.
