One silver and the usual marble's,LOL!!

Got out and did quite a bit of hunting this weekend and made some cool find's.
Sunday hooked up with a couple of guy's and took them to a few of my spot's,where I got a powder flask and this odd looking 4 ringer bullet.I have caliber and it's from around the 1880's.

here's the bullet

Monday was a bust,but tuesday was alot better!Hit my one lot where I added 2 more marble's to sunday's marble's with a total of 4,a timex watch,pistol ball,red glass bead,button's and finally a 1900s barber dime.The picture dosen't do it justice as it was a early loss and you can read the liberty in the band real clear.

  • Tom, the coin looks brilliant. How did you clean it up?

  • Way to go, Tom. You've been finding all kinds of Barber dimes over there.

    Thank's,actually it wasn't to bad when it came out of the ground.I used dome baking soda and water rubbed it between my thumb and forefinger and then rinsed it off.

    I would only use this method on non valuable coin's as it will scuff them some.HH,Tom

  • I've never tried baking soda. I have a few non-valuable coins I want to try it on.

    That bullet looks like a FIVE-ringer. Interesting.
