best find so far 4th day detecting

[treasureguy]

Hello, 4th day started out with a bang, i wanted to find something cool like everyone else on this site, i think it's pretty neat what you all find, i took a few swings with my metal detector at my parents house and i looked over across the other side of the pasture to my parents neighbors house and noticed alot of old sheds and buildings with quite abit of age on them, i end up getting permision to hunt the property 5 acres worth, i walked across turn the metal detector on and off the bat started in the rose garden as i have heard many of you find old caches coins etc in the garden , i dug up 4 pieces of a aluminum can that someone hit with a lawnmower, it was well over a 100 degrees in the sun and i was sweating like a hog, i sat there for a minute and said i am crazy, and thinking of all you on here finding these old coins that i think are pretty cool , i continued, and a few swings i got a good coin reading with my ace 250 dug down and i was thinking if i find something here it has to be old come on baby, and wiped the dust off and i seen the indian head, and then the date of 1904, Wow, my best coin and oldest so far of 4 days of metal detecting, good hunting all

Hello, was in the process of cleaning, here is a picture, i don't know what will work if anything will, it has some pretty heavy sentiment, i left it in a cup of salsa for about 4 hours and the sides came clear of a little, i did not want to corrode the whole penny, i have heard people use olive oil to clean them also, and suggestions as you can see the 103 year old penny has the crud on it, did not want to loose the face of the indian on it or the date ?? thanks all, Dusty
