T-BOP Bedrock of the Community United States 17740 Posts	Posted 07/01/2022 10:48 am This tread is getting to be a huge mystery . Like Sap says : Silver doesn't corrode . Maybe you should bring those things to a dealer that specializes in shipwreck coins They should be able to identify and retest those things once and for all . In Memory of Butch L. and Jim U. rest in peace . Report this Post to the Staff
fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 2887 Posts	Posted 07/01/2022 2:27 pm If they were found in a garden, mystery solved. My wife said burying bronze cents in a garden changes the color of some types of flowers (like Hydrangeas) to blue and helps kill fungus that can hurt the plants. It also probably makes it an EPA Superfund site, but we won't go there. Report this Post to the Staff

captaincoffee Pillar of the Community United States 599 Posts	Posted 07/10/2022 09:45 am Hydrangeas color is dependent on the ph of the soil. For instance, my plants can produce pink or blue flowers if you change the ph. Report this Post to the Staff
