Nice, havent had to dig roots out for a coin yet. Cool photos too I keep forgetting my phone to take pictures. I just got back from a hunt where I dug an old wallet out of the ground that had a couple of 6ps and 3ps in it but I had to destroy what was left of the wallet to get it out of ground which would of made for some cool photos.

Woulda been a great moment to capture gw,.... I used a camera for the main of it, and the phone for the 1944 3d shot.

good hunt silver, wish i could pick up a pre dec every time i went out..... they've certainly been there a while.

 

[numpty]

something i've noticed with my detecting is that im not getting any 5 cent pieces?

 

[silver]

Wave one under the coil and adjust your discriminatin until it picks it up in disc mode.

 

[numpty]

i cant..... i have not found any

 

[silver]

Look in your Missus's purse Numpty,.... surely there'll be one there somewhere,.. or just borrow one,... and I'll have two of whatever you were drinking last night thanks(ha). :lol:

Nice hunt Silver.
5 cents are lower tones numpty. I never used to get them until I started digging the low tones.

You can do whatever you want whenever you want then Numpty,... the world is your Pearl Oyster and your Gold Mine,.... Hurrah <<(( !

 

[Goldpick]

Those ramshead shillings have been found all over the place lately, last year they were a lot more scarce for some reason, should clean up nicely.

 

[silver]

I'll pop it in some CLR now GP and we'll see how it comes up.

 

[Dejan027]

A bit of citric acid diluted in water.

Stir it around for a couple of minutes and silver is clean.

Don't try it on anything else or it will dissolve it.

 

[silver]

It's got a bit of clingy stuff on it, so as soon as I get back home and check it if it isn't clean yet ill try that Dj.

 

[Coinballs]

Good stuff man, thats dedication

 

[silver]

here we go,... pulled it from the CLR and rinsed it well.

then popped it about a level teaspoon full of citric acid and 1/3 a cup of water.
end result after about 1&1/2 minutes and a soft tooth brush.

could have a little more attention to reach it's full potential.
But the citric acid was fast on that clingy stuff in comparison to the CLRs speed of attack on it.

 

[Heatho]

Nice shilling mate, citric acid seems to work well, will have to get some.
