Shamrock4sure Valued Member United States 101 Posts	Posted 10/26/2008 8:41 pm A friend found a "silvery" colored one metal detecting. The one I found had turned black not silver after being in the ground. Silver stays as shiny as the day it went into the ground as long as it isn't near something acidic. He hasn't weighed it but wanted to know if anyone was aware of one? Report this Post to the Staff

However, 12 22kt gold Sacagaweas exist and were carried aboard the space shuttle Columbia in the summer of 1999. None have ever been in private hands and they currently reside at Ft. Knox, probably right next to the 1933 Double Eagles Report this Post to the Staff
