Hello Everyone.....this site looks like it will be my new best friend. I found the site because I am searching for ways to preserve and protect the things I find and the artifacts that other treasure hunters on the island bring me. I am a Museum Curator and treasure hunter. I understand that "cleaning coins" is a big no-no as far as value......but if the coin is going to be used in a museum display, and value may not be an issue, well we need the coin clean....so visitors to the museum can see the darn thing, lol. Someone suggested coke soda? any suggestions?

To clean coins, use reverse electrolysis.

Welcome! Aquanut is correct, the large curator and archaeologists use electrolysis on many items.
