You can see the scratches from you rubbing it. 8.(

I knew the foil would do that, but nothing to lose on this one.

 

[Wishfull]

That's what she said..

Lmaorog !

When you do the citric acid and foil clean you don't need to rub the coin, just wrap it in foil after a 5 minute soak and hold the coil between thumb and index finger tightly for a couple of minutes. I now use this method for anything that's sterling silver and hard to clean, it works very well.

I use to use foil and Vinegar, that seemed to do the trick and just a tooth brush, never rub them because you Grind all the Grit in to the surface.

Is this the same as what used to be used for silver cutlery as well? Think it was an alloy plate you sat everything on and added a solution. I'm still yet to try out a CAB! All my coins and finds are still straight-out-the-hole condition, I'm a bit scared to damage anything

 

[rocketaroo]

Ok thanks Heatho

Hit a park on the way home from work today, quick hunt to prove it was worth trying again. RJ, and I hit it earlier this year, and we only found a few pre decs, so we moved-on. I tried the end that we didnt.....its full of old metal, and a few coins it seems!

 

[Mackka]

Nice cars Rocket.

[Heatho]

Sweet, back on the silvers.

 

[rocketaroo]

Sanfrancisco mint....shame the soil was harsh on it. Or was it the bi carb, or Citric acid...never had one with so little wear, so pitted after cleaning.

 

[Sandta]

Still a nice chunk of silver
Well done

 

[Goldpick]

Long time since I've seen a toasted florin like that, the soil must highly reactive! Still, silver is silver - well done.

This arvo's hunt....1830 park, now a dog park.....few old coins, bucket lister, verbal abuse, attempted intimidation, by a member of the public, police called, and cool drone footage.

I wont say much more, but I called the police, they had no issue with what we were doing, and upset person left as soon as I started dialing 000. Good story to tell at the next meet.

Thinking 1830s farthing, my first farthing, and maybe oldest coin?

 

[numpty]

good hunt rocket, wish i had your smart brain, as soon as the intimidation starts so does my fists

 

[rocketaroo]

We both kept our cool, very happy with how we conducted ourselves. My kangaroo penny has to be 1939, but gee it looks wrong, that nine on the end looks like zero.

 

[B5MECH]

Do we get to see the drone footage? Sounds like an eventfull day out.

 

[AtomRat]

Lovely brit penny mate and a bit of saturday night fever

 

[rocketaroo]
