Went out yesterday(Sunday) to an old spot that I've done before,.. looking for some silver(still) to ease the addiction,.... managed to stroll over a Sixpence(1961) and a few pennies.

will post a cleaned version of the Sixpence when I can.

 

[Ramjet]

Toasty

 

[rocketaroo]

Silvers normally, come out better in better cond than coppers. Maybe the sixpence smelled you coming, and got extra dirty to hide.

 

[TheSilentBugler]

Nice one

 

[Goldpick]

I'm sure underneath it will be fine, though some of those later silvers do come out a bit crusty at times. Nice finds silver.

 

[Heatho]

I'm always amazed at how well some silvers come up after a bit of a rub with bi carb, I guess it all depends on the type of ground they've been stewing in though.

 

[phantom 305]

nice one silver . some goodies there ..btw got my detector back from th minelab docs woohoo !!! here we go here we go here we goooo !!!

 

[silver]

will post a few cleaned up pickys of it when the timer dings(so to speak"ha"). sometimes they just look bad until they get some TLC,... sometimes when you want them extra badly, that's exactly what nature throws back at you(natures sense of humor at play), you just gotta live with it and bend with the blows until nature has had its canny bit of fun,....eventually it 's looking the other way and B A M all of a sudden a great expectation is delivered(in hearts), and when nature looks back it's too bloody late,...cause you've already got your fingers all over the goodies, like a mountaineers death grip when climbing a verical cliff with no ropes,... at 1200 metres.

 

[silver]

Well here we go,... all cleaned up(as good as it's gunna be at any rate,...for now).

ended up with a bit of frosting, emu wing and top of star are clear of it,... bicarb would clean that off though.
I think it was something in the attached dirty layer that made the reaction turn out like this(clr was looking pretty muddy so I changed it for a new batch to finish up).
came up alright for how it looked in the post up above,.... makes me feel good about it when I compare the two.
