If you guys have a direr need to believe in the this whole story than is not much I can say. I pointed out some real corcerns, from the photos of the guy that dug them up. I went through his website also, things just don't add up in my opinion.

If the coins come out clean as the day they went in is probably because coin is a higher silver content that jewelry. Most coins I believe are made of 95% silver, jewelry is made usually of .925 or sterling, That is British and US. Germans used 800 and 850 which means 80% and 85% of pure.
