<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DJP7x0s, post: 312987, member: 5336&quot;]I actually have all my coins and guns stored together. And that is something Ive been worried about. And black powder causes severe corrosion of any metal. Its some nasty stuff, when it comes to that. The idea suggested of using ziplock bags is a great idea that I have been considering myself. But one thing to consider, throw that black powder away. Get some pyrodex. Its the modern black powder substitute. It still has some very strong corrosive properties, but not nearly as bad as black powder. I think you will find that the guns are alot easier to clean as well. I used to shoot black powder and I actually lost a gun to corrosion. No matter how often I cleaned it, I just couldnt keep up with the corrosion, anyhow, the gun got so pitted, Im too scared to shoot it. Pyrodex isnt as volitile as black powder either. Static electricity can set off the black powder. Anyhow, I have my guns and coins stored together, but not in a confined space. I do have concerns for my own coins, and have been planning on storing my coins in ziplock bags and tupperwares. But one thing I was planning on asking some fellow coin talk members, What do you think about moisture absorbing silicone packets, and oxygen absorbing packets??? Are they a good idea or a bad idea???[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
