Rough day at the office and I need some help?

[Truth]

Worked really hard today detecting and came up with two Wheaties that I wish I could get the data off of and a half piece of what looks like Half of a pewter figure rain or something like that. Is that half of a soldier?

I'm very curious on getting the dates of these things they're a little cruddy. Do you have any home remedies?

I use water and bright sunlight and that helps see the date.

I'm not sure if it's made of lead or not. It's a soft metal.

Well at least you know he was only half the man.......

You may get a few details off those pennies by cleaning/scraping them with a wooden toothpick. I can't tell by looking at the pictures but if they are caked in dirt, maybe a day of soaking in olive oil will make it easier to lift the dirt.
Congrats and good luck.

Maybe we can rebuild him, make him stronger and faster, we have the technology.

So I usually use my Dremmel tool with either a brass wire bit or one of the buffing bits. The brass wire wheel works amazing!!! If you have a dremmel, that's your best bet I'll post a pic

My example from a "seasoned" wheatie I got a while back. It had those little bumps and pitting all over it and I couldn't read the date. That wire wheel does the trick every time and gives it a nice buff. You obviously wouldn't wanna do it to a coin you KNEW was a key-date, or valuable. Anyways, that's my "2-cents". Good luck!

Give those two wheats a hot peroxide bath.

Hot or cold?


I used hot hydrogen peroxide with some vinegar on my first and only Indian head I found the other day a and it made it real dark. I could still make it out and I could see the date 1903. So I got some advice from the guy who made the YouTube video and he told me to soak it in Coca-Cola for a day and that would lighten it up. Well it did and it's a 1900! Lol

At this point it's like one of my children.
