W.T.G!!!

NICE TO HEAR!!! I HAVE BEEN HITTING SPOTS I THOUGHT I HAD HUNTED OUT YEARS AGO...NOW I GOT THE BIG 12 INCH COIL...ITS LIKE SOME ONE RE-SEEDED THE PLACES!! HITTING THOSE DEEP..ONCE OUT OF REACH TARGETS!! TO CLEAN... I USE SALT AND VINAGAR PUT THE COIN IN IT FOR HALF HOUR THEN WASH THE COIN..RE-SOAK IF NEEDED...DO NOT PUT ANY PENNYS IN WITH THE NICKEL IT WILL TURN ORANGE!! POST SOME PHOTO'S WHEN YOU CAN...WE GOT TO GET SOME ACTION ON THE MASS FORUM...IT'S A GREAT STATE FOR VERY OLD FINDS GOOD LUCK!! YOU GOT A "ACE 250" RIGHT??

I was begining to think that I had a lemon 250 but now I'm a believer once again. Thanks for the cleaning advice, I will post a picture of all my homestead finds on Saturday. Happy Hunting.

I think those are your first real nice finds with that 250?
Nice job!! I hear the ACE250 is a coin magnet to a good 6".
I'll look forward to seeing your next finds.

Rebel...i tried Lime-away on my two buffalo nickels and 2 V nickels...i wasn't too crazy about how the V's came out but the buffalo nickels looked great

Congrats on the nice finds! My first--and only until I found an SLQ recently--silver quarter was a '44. Still have yet to find any v-nickels though. On the buffaloes (buffalos?), I didn't have much luck w/ electrolysis but I've hear a lot of good things on FM about the warm peroxide method.
