Some pickling acid and then some liver of sulphur would give you quicker and better results. These are used in silver jewellery making and are relatively inexpensive. Anneal, anneal and then anneal some more, remember after annealing your silver is not "work" hardened and as such will remain soft, as your not physically working the metal then heating them in a kiln and allowing them to cool will give similar results. Nice coins, happy detecting.👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Always great to find the hammered silver coins. Best wishes.

You're lucky the glass top didn't explode.

[@slownlowdetecting]

Its very thick tough glass 💪

[@saffification]

Neil, it’s the extreme heat differences that can cause the glass to explode. Too much localised heat on a cold surface.

[@slownlowdetecting]

​@@saffificationseriously theres nowhere nesr enough heat to do that. A coin on a spoon just slightly hovering over the table. It wouldn't light a match if it wss underneath with a small gap.

I use jewellery pliers that have a soft flat face for moving mine. Also would dry the coin before each reheating so you cant possibly steam crack it. Shame about the singing :) HH. Mal

I hope you learn the hard way that what you are showing on this video is very dangerous. ⚠️🤓

[@johnkidd797]

Done correctly none of this is "Dangerous". I smelt and pour precious metals at over 2000 degrees. If safety protocol is followed then it is no more dangerous than crossing the road. I also use chemicals for jewellery manufacture, dangerous if mishandled but harmless if correctly used along with the p.p.e.

Wow what a lovely chappy you are hope it made you feel better typing that. But i stand with your freedom to say it. There must be lots of videos and fulms you can't watch. If you do watch them your fingers must be really sore from sending all the comments on media platforms and film companies including Hollywood etc. Now take a deep breath and let it out slowly, do this several times and you will feel much better ❤️
