Big silver!

[echodog]

Got out for a 2 hour hunt in the woods today between jobs. The woods has almost zero trash in the area I hit, so I dug everything. The signals came in strange, low vdi and bad sounding. The first find was about 3 seconds after turning the machine on a 1905 German half mark? It was only a inch or two deep and I drilled it with my tool! Then a trade token from H. Muher, bullet, and broke spoon. The penny's are 1930 and 1909. As I was leaving I heard a screaming 70 under- beside a little tree and 20 min and 4 inches later got the flat button. A foot away there was a group of what appear to be brass or copper rivets with a bit of leather still on them? In the parking lot I spotted a ear ring no marks but I think it's silver! I think the button has guilt on the back, how do I safely clean it? Thanks and good luck all!

excellent find.... just to clarify, it's not a half mark but rather a 2 mark coin. looks like similar ones on ebay are being offered for around 40 bucks. not too shabby at all. congrats!

Nice silver and button echodog. I recently found a CW button with some guild left on it and used aluminum jelly to clean it. It's not a very common item carried at my local hardware store. They actually had to order it for me. Congrats and good luck.
