    though I had some problem with sea water It also th-cam.com/users/postUgkxa-FNYUOM93a388gi9a4brtSCEVmrHgJH land for finding any things very easily. (thought it would work as normal due to it being water proof within certain parts of the detector), on dry land and sand worked well. My first one, so still have lots to learn

    Best way to clean it is with an ultrasonic cleaner. Distilled water and a few hours and it'll be as good as it can be for its age.

    Mooi ! Eindelijk iemand die het goede voorbeeld geeft ipv agressieve methodes die alles om zeep helpen ;)
    Je ziet gekken citroenzuur over hun net gevonden vondsten kappen als ze nog maar uit de grond komen 😜 jammer dat beginners dat als normaal beschouwen als ze zulke filmpjes zien...
    Zelf gebruik ik eerst maisolie en de stokers en er na vaseline ter conservatie,we proberen jou methode eens uit 👍
    Leve de mooie patina op onze vondsten 😊

    Interesting video. But I would use bamboo skewers, they are tougher than brushing sticks. In general, I clean with soap. I really like how the Absolute Aloe Vera soap cleans. But it is imperative to control the process. Help with brushes will come in handy too.

    Hi!
    Thanks for the great video. I have a question:
    Is it okay for me to leave my finds dirty until I want to clean them many months later? During the metal detecting season I prefer to spend as much time as I can metal detecting and then when winter comes and everything is covered with snow I would like to then clean my finds to fill my time then. Is that okay? Do the items take any damage from drying out with dirt on them while they wait months to be cleaned?
    I would greatly appreciate a reply with your thoughts, thank you!

    Not good to use vaseline as it is water based. It will eventually ruin the coin

    • @museonfilm8919
      @museonfilm8919 ปีที่แล้ว

      Vaseline seems to be a common thing home-restorers use.
      I think the go-to professional product is micro crystalline wax. But even then, I'd rather have an unrestored coin - provided it's not too crusty.

  • @michaeljacques7336
    @michaeljacques7336 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES DO WHAT YOU SEE IN THIS VIDEO!!! Scraping, rubbing or picking at coins does irreparable damage to coins! Nothing decreases the value of a coin more than improper cleaning, it is common in the hobby that someone will wipe, pick at or polish a coin that would have been worth thousand of dollars and this damage makes the coins near worthless. we call them "no grade" coins if you find a coin DO not rube or pick at it, if you need to get dirt off of it hold it under running water, or soak it for a few hours in distilled water and then rinse. if thats not enough you may want to consider taking the coin to a local coin shop to see if the coin is a rare one and get some help or advice on how to properly conserve it.

    if you are cleaning coins for personal use - meaning its for you to show off to friends and fam ect .. then clean them like this - totally fine . if you are cleaning them to take into a coin dealer or send it to auction - do not clean it with anything accept water and very very light brushing . collectors will thank you for this .. they know when its been cleaned any other way - and normally frown on it

    • @sjbolton72
      @sjbolton72 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not really, soft wood vs metal. Thats why it works and the soaking is needed. Biggest risk is not brushing away the loosened dirt which you the push around into the surface. That will scratch it. But you will never get back to a freshly made state with something so crusted in corrosion which will have already damaged the original metal surface underneath. There’s no perfect methods, it all depends on the item and what you are trying to clean off.

    • @michaeljacques7336
      @michaeljacques7336 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, it will defiantly scratch the crap out of a coin. The wood is softer then the metal but you are pushing around grit and sand that are harder then the coin and will definitely damage the coin. never rube or pick at a coin.
