[QUOTE="DAN77, post: 204370, member: 6349"] Hi guys and girls, went out today for my first coin/relic hunt and found a heavily rusted old coin/disc underneath and old fig tree that stands next to an old grandstand. It is so rusted though I can't make out any markings whatsoever. My questions are 1. Would an old coin rust so heavily? I assumed that most would be copper or silver 2. What would be the best way to get the rust off it so that I might be able to see something. I was thinking WD40 or something along those lines until the surface rust came away. Sorry for the newbie questions, but this seems like the best place to ask. Thanks DAN P.S Thanks for the loaner Rod, Jas and I had a great day!! [/QUOTE]
