Hmmm, never have tried the peroxide method. Apparently it works. Congrats on a great find. Nice detail.

1 ounce in a teacup, heated 40 seconds in microwave, let her sit for 4 hours then a gentle rub with toothbrush. it was heavily crusted with nasty NEW YORK dirt and hunting partner FMERG thought it was toast before I cleaned it. best part of the story is he missed the IH with his minelab due to his coil size and the tree trunk too close to the IH. I was using his wife's ace150 since my 250 is at Garrett for repair.

Beautiful Indian head penny. I have yet to find one myself. Tough to find places around here old enough to potentially be holding onto one for me.

Thanks for that information. sorry for the late response, just noticed your reply. Also it's nice to add one to the WIN column for the ACE. My best machine right now is the 250, and you can't beat it for the money.

That IH is in great shape......coins in roots drive me nuts, but usually worth it in the end. Oh the minelab guys are gonna come out of the woodwork on this one......lol.

I own a minelab....Congrats...I'm not a wood worker
