That's crazy. Now try a microwave....
.....on second thought don't try that! [emoji2]
 
and you did that why?
 
and you did that why?

First answer: I have completely and totally lost my mind.

Second answer: Just a joke, I dug those out of the Gulf. Gave them an initial cleaning with Muriatic Acid to get the dead stuff off, then I soaked them in vinegar (a lesser acid) over night. That was the best I could clean them without dissolving them completely. Kinda thought they looked deep fried.
 
Sometimes I find pennies like that directly out of the deep , dark mud.

Try putting them on an outdoor grill next time:laughing7:

( Just kiddin')

I wish you the best out there

One word "ZINC-0-LINS" they just don't survive much of anything. They are the "ANTI-RAMBOS" of coins !!
 
We call them stinky zincys
 
Easy Bake Oven- slow cook 'em after letting them soak in Italian Vinaigrette overnight.

Not me. I really don't like finding them at all, but, I sure don't want to find the same one twice!
 
first thing I do when I finish detecting, when I'm sorting out my stuff, is throw all the zinc cents away. Copper cents I'll save and spend, but the zincs go in the trash.
 
I have been told that if you take toasted coins to a "federal reserve bank" they will give you clean cash for them. Now, 10 toasted pennies may not be worth worrying about, but I think I now have about 1000 of them in a container. The closest federal reserve bank is about 100 miles away so it will have to wait until a convenient time when I am in the same city. Local banks will likely not take them but will refer you to a federal reserve bank which is required by law to make good on their currency.
 
Thanx for nada!
Now I know why I keep finding them (sigh)!
