Big Bean Field Silver

[Reelfoot Relics]

Got a new permission today where a farm once stood and scored a Barber half. It is pretty worn and must of rested against something iron at some point. I'm open to suggestions on how to clean it. I also found a tiny flat button and a few more brass items. This property has two more homesites on it and its only a mile away from home so I hope to find a few more things.

If it is not a rare date, I clean my silver with a baking soda and water paste, just rub it with you fingers on the coin and it will clean up nicely.

i'm soaking it in vinegar hoping it will soften it up then I'll try that. Thanks.

I'm already a member but I don't mind adding a little backup. Thanks.

Congrats on the B half. The T shaped thingy I believe is an old gas lamp valve handle, but no idea what the tube shaped item is. A very good hunt in my book.
