1. It's probably not a new revelation, but white vinegar does a great job of cleaning those old pennies or copper pieces you've found. Dump 'em all in a glass jar and fill it past the penny line with straight white vinegar. Shake it for awhile 'til the vinegar gets nice and dirty and let it sit overnight. Rinse thoroughly with clean cold water, wrap 'em in a towel to dry them off. Repeat if necessary....

2. Accelerate the 'halo' effect in your coin garden. Just for the heck of it, I buried a few clads beyond my detectors normal 'loud' signal range and poured a couple cap fulls of white vinegar onto the coin before returning the plug. Low and behold, the next day I was able to find the coin. I'm not 100% sure if it was the day wait, the vinegar or both. I can't say what vinegar will do to your grass though....

I use white vinegar in a crock pot to get years of paint & finger funk off old lock hardware. Noticed it works as a cat repellent. Not sure if it's coincidence or not, but if I got a pot working the cats don't want to be around

I use it as a general purpose cleaner in the bathroom...takes calcium deposits off from hard water...cleans up soap scum. Not as fast working as the cleaners designed for that purpose, but a heck of a lot less toxic and easier on the hardware, lungs etc...

I lost all desire to be around vinegar when mr drywalldave made me try it for muscle cramps! When he gets muscle cramps he takes a spoonful of it and drinks it. I was having some cramps in my thighs and he had me try it....I guess I will admit the cramps in my thighs got better but my tongue bout beat me to death trying to get out of my mouth and my stomach rebelled horribly as well. lol I do NOT admit to having charliehorses in my legs anymore if he is around! :tongue3:

Hey look on the bright side! Even if it didn't help the leg cramps, it took your mind off the pain from the cramps ;D

That's true!!! Everyone taste tested then had to write on a slip of paper to tell what they thought it was made with. We were all very surprised to hear it was made with vinegar. It was more like a cobbler than a pie, nice and sweet. Just google "Vinegar Pie/Cobbler" it will pop up with some recipes.

:wink: RR
