Heavy tarnish on that merc, a littel baking soda and water will take care of it..

Nice day! I think patina of old coins makes em look so much cooler than all shiney.

Nice haul. I am sucker for those Mercs!

Nice Merc! Nice axe head, I like finding old tools and getting them to work again, better than what they sell in the store!
Congrats!

Congratulations on the Merc! But goodness, what do you have in the soil that would do that to a silver coin?

Water or moisture.

I agree about coin patina but disagree if you think dirt and corrosion=patina.

could be from fertilizer use in the field where the house use to be.
