Welcome to the board. Where ya from? What kind of machine do you use? There are so many great people in this group and do much you can learn. I've been here a year and I don't think I've even seen the whole board yet.

I love that good luck token, I found one my first summer detecting (last summer) What is on the other side? Its amazing that most of those advertising tokens are worth more then most US coinage.

Nice finds and welcome aboard from GA! You may try electrolysis on the iron items you want to keep. I've recently started using it with great success. Here's a link to the process if you're unfamiliar with how to do it.

You have done great for only searching out your yard! Welcome to the forum.

 

[Msbeepbeep]

Excellent! Your yard finds are better than what I found in mine! Nails, bottle caps, zincs, etc!

 

[Steve in PA]

Looks like you have a productive yard. That's where I cut my teeth, my parents and my neighbors yards.

I don't know weather to congratulate you or give you my condolences for getting caught up in this crazy addicting hobby ! Nice finds ! So probably too late so congratulations and welcome to the madness ! MaineRelic !

Pretty nice yard you have there. Keep hitting it, and when you are tired of hitting it and think its hunted out...Hit it again! Nice finds!

Great video Walt! Thank you! I can do this

You're welcome DeepseekerADS! I've used it on some civil war and ghost town iron relics that cleaned up nicely! I usually run it 24hrs the remove, hose loose debris off and descale what will fall off easily with a ball pean hammer, then run it another day or two. The long pin in the cents was about twice that diameter encrusted in rust. It cleaned up pretty well after 4 days of electrolysis.
