Thanks against the wind you know that Bob Seager went to Pioneer high school here in A2 MI same school I went to accept he was 4 or 5 years ahead of me and the song Main street was about main street here in A2 . Though Id toss that out there If it wasn't for this site and ART Bell coast to Coast AM I would go bananas in the winter

very nice. can i get that recipe for the lemon juice and salt?

 

[A2coins]

This was my first time so what I did was put 40 to 50 coins in the tumbler mine is a 3 lb barrel don't put to much in the barrel wont spin at the speed it should fill lemon juice to the top of the coins add 3 table spoons of salt and tumble for 1/2 an hour don't tumble too much longer than that unless needed you can look at them and see how there doing once they are done wash them right away and as loco says don't use the wifes strainer unless you want to end up wearing it. LOL that's part of the recipe. I cant believe how these coins came out you can see Michigan coins are blackish coming out of the ground accept silver looks like it got dropped the same day if you zoom in on the pennies you can see how they are corroded some of them I think that's from fertilizer in thes soil Hope this helps!!!!!!!

Thanks for the shout-out Tommy, I am pleased to see the "Loco-Coco" worked for you. Have you looked through your nickels to see if you have any from the 1940's? Now for your birthday you need to get an assortment of coin folders so you can begin to fill them with your dug coins.

By the way congrats on finding that sneaky Merc that was hiding in all that clad.

Enjoy the warm weather, and pull some keepers.

Loco Coco? That almost sounds like a new nickname.

Congrats on the Merc!
