[QUOTE="Goldpick, post: 314858, member: 1695"] No, the ground is actually mostly sand, the black coating on the coins I suspect comes from the pine trees. Underneath the black coating is your usual green patina, so in a way it does protect them from too much oxidation. The older dog tag is a bit of an oddity, virtually no oxidation whatsoever on a 130 year old item is pretty astounding. Forgot to mention that both dog tags are from district 128, which is Robe - about 100kms further up the coast from here. :) [/QUOTE]
