Some Silver

[Reddog777]

I got these from my favorite hunting spot, a fresh water lake. A 1943 -1944 quarter, a 1940 nickle ( not sure if it silver) and of course the star of the show a heavy silver ring. I am going to have it claen and polish. Will post a picture of it afterwards.

Nice finds, gotta love a good ring!! I've got a few gold ones with that exact pattern. Clean it yourself. Just takes a little Tarn-X from the store, a silver polishing cloth (My favorite is the yellow Brilliant Polishing Cloth) and about 10 minutes. She'll look just like new again.

Nice finds! Especially like the ring. Oh, nickels only contained silver (35%) between 1942-1945. They are easy to spot because the mint marks (P, D or S) are very conspicuously placed above the dome on the back of the nickel.

Also, I just found this on coinflation. Didn't know this: "The 1938 through 1942 D versions of the nickel are also made of the same composition, but generally are sold for a premium over their melt value due to rarity."

I hunted several beaches also with little success. The storms. waves, and the tides moves the goodies around alot. With a lake like the one that I hunt in, the goodies don't move around and most of the time the only place that they go is down from settling. I buried a dime a least 10'' on the beach today and packed the sand really good and still got a repeatable signal even though it was broken. So listen carefully. The AT PRO detects deeper than alot of people thinks. All good signals will not be a solid tone with a good VDI. I learnt this from experience.

I followed BigCatDaddy's advice and used some Tarn-X and a polishing cloth on the silver ring. Cleaned up very good.

Sweet! The ring really shined up nicely! All I could seem to find today was copper and a few pieces of clad, but the coin jar is filling up!
