I put them in a bath of vinger, dish soap and warm water. Then used an old toothbrush to clean most of the dirt of them but they're not really useable I think. Most of them I can barely read what they are. Any tips on how to proceed?
Most of them are 2&1€ and 50/20/10/5 cents...
I took the special ones out before cleaning.
Pic 1 is before
Pic 2&3 are after
I found a lot of coins but about 95% are just euro's 50/20/10/5 cents. A few are car wash tokens and some coins are from other countries currencies. I read a few articles about how to clean these and the general consensus was to use vinegar and dish soap. So picture 1 is the before, picture 2&3 are after rinsing and brushing off dirt once. How many times should I do this process if I ever want to use these?
! IF I suspect a special coins (found a few golden and silver ones) I pick them out before cleaning them !
They're mostly 1/2euro's, 50/20/10 cents.
Very rarely a silver one...
I've got about 2kg of these with dirt/corrosion on them.
I found a good spot a few km away while MDetecting where I find these regularly so I think more are comming.
I just found this today while Mdetecting
