Todays little hunt

[texan connection]

Thrillataunt and I went to my favorit spot, (a few of ya'll have been there) I got a 1851 O dime and a bad V knickle. plus a "the king Bee Hat" pin.
The Dime was real bad, (actually looked kinda rusted brown) but, ultrasonic cleaning and foil cleaning did it justice.
Rick got a 1865 Indian.
It was hot and we were tired

Nice finds Albert. Beats working...which is what I did today.

Do you use a jewelry ultrasonic cleaner?

 

[texan connection]

Its a med sized one I got at harbor frieght, works great. If you get one I can give you a tip or 2.

 

[TXDIRTFISHER]

I've thought about getting one but didn't. I've used them for cleaning guns and they work great. I'll check on harbor freight and get one. Thanks for the tip.

Looks like a good place to hunt. Nice finds ya made there. Thanks for the info on the cleaner. I'll have to check them out.

Carfull with those button though Old river, One run is probaly enough for Brass, theyll strip the patina right off.

Great pic of rick, and the wiildflowers. It took a few, but I had to delet some as he kept diggin every time I was trying to focus.

Give us a pic of that indian Rick!

No I wouldn't put one of the buttons in it. I was thinking mostly of the coins. Thanks....

I used the foil thing 3 times then the ultrasonic cleaner I havent even rubed it, I belive the foil loosened it and the Cleaner broke it off.
