Went out for a 5 hour beach hunt on Saturday and found 4 Mercs; 1945, 1940, 1942 and 1943 D along with a 1939 and 1944 P War Nickel, wheats dating from 1913-1957 and 2 silver rings. One of my best beach hunts this year.

Nice hunt - I always love finding Mercs, although it's heartbreaking to see what salt water does to them. Congrats on a five-silver day (plus rings!) - that only happens very rarely anymore.

Thanks ScaredOfClowns, and certainly sad how salt water treats them as the 2 worse looking ones were in relatively good shape.

I'll say that was a great hunt, multiple silvers and sterling make for a great day. Congrats. Do you, will those silvers clean up ? Good luck, Mark

Thanks markinswpa, I tried to clean the 2 worst ones with the baking soda and aluminum trick but it didn't work so I tried the spit and tinfoil trick, it got the job done scratched them up alot and revealed fire damage on one.

Nice hunt Kauf, like the big silver signet ring! Looks old.

Thanks TommyJay, and it does look old so it might be from the 40s based on the other finds.
