Well under there don't get wet or anything,There was more news paper but it was in bad shape not even a full paper just the corner of about five pages. Not a lot down there just nails and bricks and more nails lol..



Take a look this isn't all of the nails this is just from round two lol..

All I've been doing to it is freezing it in water..still hard to see but I think it's 1864

There is a thread on here somewhere on cleaning coins.

 

[Kaleb71386]

I hooked it up to my electrolysis then put it back in water and froze it again check it out now knocked a lot off by just freezing it .. I wouldn't have ever cleaned it if I could read the date but I don't think I hurt it by doing it this way

Congrats on your IH ! You were right there just had to be a coin under there!

At lest the majority of the nails & stuff are straight and usable, probably better quality than what we buy today. I like finding old tools and getting them to work again.

Turned out good, nice way to clean them ?! Never heard of that way before.

Keep @ it and HH !!

Trust in your instinct I had a gut feeling there was.. I'm not done there yet could be another one if I'm lucky

I picked it up off the net works good I think.. What else can you do when there that crusty? I don't like to use acids they leave a fog look to the coin
