Wolfau: i found it below the high tide line. As far as i can recall it was all green when i pulled it out. The top half fell off at some stage. Cheers Dave

Here is the florin after a clean.(1926)

Jaros all I could find was a 12 volt 500ma power supply amongst my junk. Common table salt (Saxa) for electrolyte. The florin is bubbling away nicely at this time. All the best Dave.

Sorry same picture twice. Here is the penny with date revealed.

The Penny (2 down on the left. The half green one with no date.) i hit with electrolysis (another first ) and revealed a date. (1913). Good hobby this a hell of a lot of fun and you learn stuff also. The florin (top right) is my next cleaning project. All the best Dave.
