Sidewalk tear-out results pictures including the 1870

[Johnny Ringo Silver]

I figured I would put up some pictures of the indians that I have dug at the sidewalk site.
Yes, I seperated the indians and the 1870 was corroded and pitted worse than I figured but it is still an 1870. I know alot of you have dug some indians and most that are dug in the dirt or fields can be found in numerous states of corrosion or even lack there of. I have dug numerous that came out beautiful and some not so. These indians dug at this site were no exception because I had some that looked awesome after a little cleaning and some of these others were soo corroded and built up with a hard green crust that next to nothing would clean them off! I soaked, I dipped, I shocked with temperature changes and cleaners but little would affect these build-ups. Mind you that some of these were in rubble, brick, sandy conditions beneath a sidewalk for over 115 years and I just had to take the good with the bad. I was greatful that I got to dig 11 indians from the same site with one of them being my first fattie and all of them had readable dates. Thanks for all the good words and it has been a pleasure sharing it with you all! 8)

Another outstanding day for you, Johnny. What are the dates (if you listed them and I missed it, I'll slap the forehead when I go back and re-check your post) of all the Indians?

I learned with my 1867 I.H. that all I could do was make the coin look worse, trying to get that green stuff off(looked like the rainforest under 20x magnification). It is now almost a light copper tubing color, and I guess I'll subject it to some other chemical abuse to get it browner. Sure isn't saleable, but then it never was since I found it.
I am doing nothing to the 1872..

I'm off to look up your great 1915 Fubbalo neekul. That is in *fine* shape! And the '70, I'll check that, too. Love looking 'em up in those tables..
