Hello --

The top three pictures are Hermetic Capacitors -- The second set of pictures I actually believe are Aluminum Capacitors and not Tantalum at all, You would be able to figure the difference by the difference in weight of the hermetic and the second set.

The Third set is Ag/Tantalum Capacitors.

I will attach pictures of three types of caps I found today, can you please help me identify type? There are two pics of each cap and I tried to get all the numbers on them. I am hoping I finally found one of the elusive silver ones!!

I think this is a hermetic tantalum cap:







I think this one is a wet tantalum cap??





I THINK this is a Ag/Ta Cap?? pretty please?!
