Hi Everyone,
Had a couple of hours to get out and hunt. Nothing too exciting, 7 quarters, 6 dimes, 2 Nickels, 13 pennies and 2 pocket knives. One of the dimes is a 1956 Rosie! So I am happy for that. This is the same school that I found one of my silver rings for this year, so I am hoping there is more out there.
I do have two questions-
1. I can't seem to get the Rosie clean, it has some black tarnish on it that even after 1 hour in lemon juice it would not come out, so does anyone have any suggestions for getting this off?
2. Both of the pocket knifes are really rusty and appears to have chunks of rust on them, what is the best way to clean these? Electrolysis? If so does anyone have any instructions on how to create one? Or any other suggestions for getting them clean?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Take care and HH!
