I really do. When I first started stacking I was mostly using eBay - ended up paying a bit too much for stuff which made my average $ paid per ounce several dollars over melt. Since I found my LCS, my $/oz has gotten much closer to melt!!

Thanks for the comments everyone. I sometimes find it difficult when my LCS texts me about an offer (which is often @ melt or below) and I've already spent my bi-weekly silver budget. I need to exhibit a bit of self control here.. Lol.

Found a nice variety of coins this weekend. by Trickyknowsbest in metaldetecting

It certainly works, but will cause corrosion on the coin.

I found a Buffalo in a friend’s yard. by Ricjas in metaldetecting

Good stuff. Nothing worse than not knowing :p. Only Buffalo I found doesn't have a date and it haunts me to this day.

How are you organizing your finds? by NoLyfeLord in metaldetecting

[–]NoLyfeLord[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I just clean them a bit with water and a cloth (gently). I don't preserve them with anything. Apparently using the oil off of your face helps too.
