September 6th finds from a couple old torn down house spot

[Giant056]

I got a bracelet, Indian, 3 wheats, clad, couple square nails, couple rifle shells, spoon (eyeball find) and a neat toy skillet that looks like it's made from copper.

You got better quality houses in MI than me. <sigh> Check that little skillet carefully: looks like a mini-gold pan for a miner figurine. Might even have something in it.

On the clad coins, bracelet, and most everything except the wheats and Indian I tumbled them in a rock tumbler for a couple hours then used electrolysis on them, for the wheats and Indian I soaked them in hot peroxide then rub them between my fingers along with some baking soda which helps remove the dirt. The peroxide will remove most of the dirt but the baking soda really cleans them after peroxide or electrolysis.

I am impressed with the natural-looking finish that the coin surfaces appear to have after the baking soda treatment. I would have expected them to "look" cleaned.
