Todays hunt results.

[silver]

I was watching a fellow clean silver cutlery the other day on utube using warm water with bicarb inside an alfoil lined dish.
The observation there was that you had to be holding onto the cutlery(which wasn't anything like this coin in the way of filth) to get the the cleaning affect happening below the liquid surface , as you Rubbed the cutlery against the foil base.

Had to go to the shops..... here's the florrie after after I got back

So now I've gone back into the lemon again until it's done.

 

[silver]

Done.... enough !

Better leave a little for someone else to do in the future

Ended off with just dry bi carb... so'se I could force it into the low spots without it slurrying out too easily.

Could say this coins almost been Rubbed up the wrong way lol

Not cleaned at all..... no sir ee`

Just..... almost restored.

Thanks Dave..... we only restorate coins though, we should never clean them they recon
No one wants a Cleaned coin, but if the restoration looks good enough they may be happier
(May be a little sanding damage there, and you could feel the alfoil rolling around the bigger bits of crud as they let go..... so mayhap one could take more care and time if the crud looks large enough to let go in solid chunks as big as grains of sand). (And the lemon juice dried off fairly quickly once it was removed from the lemon itself... so maybe a small bowl of lemon juice for redipping during the alfoil rub stage could be rewarding. The bottled lemon juice was a dud, that's for certain in this case.

Well, bit of a damp hunt today after picking a coupl'a boxes of Mangoes
Hunt result

$11 there

Plenty of coppers

Ring is a nothing

Silver is a 6d

Got a 1/2d

1912

6d looks alright on the obverse

1942D 6d... so 92.5% silver

Bit bla'zae on the reverse.... but still a silver on the first day ..... may see Sandta in a win win situation

 

[Jaros]

Good work.

 

[silver]

Thanks mate, couple of 1c's from yesterday

1967 on the right

I don't often find the NZ 1c very often, and I do like the design

On another note I did get out again today(so that's every day this year so far)
The hunt results

I do like this thing

Got $4 and a base metal ear ring

3 pennies, the oldest one is 1911

Cleaned up the old thing
Maybe it pushed into something.... like it was a fancy thing on a radiola or some such thing.... the back(no wording or numbers)

The front

I like it
(No silvers though) :/
