<p>[QUOTE="bcuda, post: 5412131, member: 105389"]Back in the days when I could metal detect for ancient coins I never ever found a silver coin that did not have a super hard crust (almost like cement) on it. But I also never found a hoard of coins either. The Silver coins were always a very dark almost black color , only time it would show any silver color on the coin is if it had been cleaned too much. the Bronze coins would have this crust on them also but not always sometimes you would get a really nice thick green patina coin that required nothing but rinsing it off some.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
