silver said:The shilling has what looks like small bits of copper adhering to it, it may have undergone a bit of natural electrolysis at some stage. makes you wonder if lightning strikes could cause things like that to happen, it was in a grey sandy loam soil with quartz sand. I'm still wondering what soil type would look after coins really well (especially copper ones) over time.Paulmarr said:Nice one silver - just goes to prove that silver coins extracted from parks aren't all in wonderful condition ... those could have come from the beach when you look at their condition - at least a few more for the scrap pile!

I'd imagine the soil would be neutral or low PH value as opposed to acidic or alkaline.
