Hi Everyone !
Attached is a photo of (6) Nickels I found at a Park recently and I need a good method for cleaning these, to restore them to a nice appearance if possible.
I was using my Tesoro Compadre with the 5.75" solid round coil, with the discrimination indicator set at the "F" in FOIL.
My hunt lasted for about 2-hours until darkness came. I was scanning a small grassy area about 6' x 12' right in back of one particular Basketball pole and recovered the (6) Nickels, (3) Quarters, (1) Quarter-size Token, (2) Dimes, (4) Pennies, (3) Staytabs, (1) BeaverTail PullTab and (2) Pieces of Canslaw = (22) digs and $1.29 total in coins.
I realize the above is a small number of finds, but I was overjoyed with that many coins from one relatively small area. Also, finding six Nickels told me I have a good Disc. setting to find small gold rings in the future ! (Knowledgible Detectorists know that Nickels and thin 10K rings share almost the same conductivity.)
Please let me know if you have a Nickel cleaning method that works well.
Thanks in advance for your help.
