I was hunting around an old house and found the 2 wheat pennies first, went about 10 more feet and got a great reading, starting to dig the plug and out pops the merc. I couldnt believe it after about 20 outings and I finally had my first silver. Scanned the hole again with my pinpointer and started popping out coins left and right. 2 Walking Liberties 1 Barber 1 Mercury 3 Indian Head Cents and 2 Wheat Pennies. All the coins except the 2 Wheat Pennies out of the same hole. What is the best way to clean the pennies?

You just cleared a bunch of things from the list. First Merc, First Walker, first Barber, first Half, first Silver Dime and then some I'm sure. All at once, haha nice job...!!

Keep @ it and HH !! :hello2:
 
very, very excited about these types of finds, BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU!
 
Way to go! Walking Liberty halves are about my favorite coin. Nothing like the feel of huge silver in your pocket. Thanks, for sharing and congrats.
