Cleaning your treasures,

Dgilbert

So I have been watching a lot of videos of ppl on the hunt and digging targets. They are finding coins and buttons etc... then they are showing pics of the coins after cleaning. Is there something special they are using to clean there coin finds with or just soap water and a brush. I cant seam to get the same results.
Thanks..

Usually just hot running water until you determine if they may be valuable. Cleaning valuable coins will reduce or even eliminate value. If the contaminant is organic, use pure acetone to soak and it will come off without damaging the coin. If simple pocket change, some use a tumbler to clean them all together. Cheers, RickO
