    Silver always comes out black but Nickles and Gold always look perfect !
    Mercs are 1940, 1942, 1943D and the Rosie 1962D
    The Buff is 1927 and Gold Ring tested 12k.
    The 1940 was in this plastic pouch:

    Great finds! I always think it cool to see nickles come out of the water...they often look great. Love that gold ring!
    Detectors I use: Minelab Equinox 900 & Manticore
    Favorite finds I have made:
    1,000+ silver coins
    92pcs of 1700's Trade Era Silver
    Copper Culture Indian Artifacts
    125+ War of 1812 Era buttons and relics
    My wife
    (probably should have started with that one)

    Congrats on the gold ring! It is beautiful. It's funny how nickels and cents come out of the water looking shiny. I've seen that in water detecting videos before.

    I also find it fascinating that one of the Mercury Dimes was in a plastic coin purse. Pretty cool!

    Lifetime totals:
    9 Large Cents, 415 Indian Heads, 2 Two Cent Pieces, 1 Capped Bust Half Dime, 1 Seated Half Dime, 10 Shield Nickels, 68 V Nickels, 124 Buffalo Nickels, 31 War Nickels, 16 Seated Dimes, 131 Barber Dimes, 405 Mercury Dimes, 249 Rosies, 4 Seated Quarters, 18 Barber Quarters, 19 Standing Liberty Quarters, 89 Silver Washingtons, 1 Seated Half, 3 Barber Halves, 16 Walking Liberty Halves

    Nice finds. I forgot what gold looks like!! Water levels are still high. The wheats sometimes comes out new but then turns orange after an hour!! That’s crazy you got that in that wallet. I found one preserved in the hardpack also but was empty! Congrats on the old yellow
