Try the bi-carb aluminium foil trick, works great on 925 coins and only takes a few mins.

i knocked a new permission today , half hour , had the wrong coil on 8.( 8.(
did ok i spose, i am ordering a 6 inch coil tomorrow , this spot will be the perfect trial for there is sooooooooooooo
much crap aluminum and other things, the big coil pulled em but it was a test of the ears
will go back with the 11 so i can have a comparison of the 3 in my mind

got a mad one , thought it was 2 cents at first (screaming 12.46 on the CTX) but its a new penny
