I found this coin , on a site I thought I had hunted out,
was stuck for a place to go yesterday

went over an area with 6" coil on equinox very slowly , and a sketchy but solid signal, got similar signals for bent hammered nails, you know how the equinox is
god job I dig everything sweet

any idea on cleaning to remove some of the build up, dosnt have tobe perfect, I tried hat water and soap?

It's up to you but I've cleaned a lot of coins in similar condition as yours by using an "Electrolysis Bath".
It's a safe and non abrasive way to remove the crud - just don't leave it in to long.
It's easy and very inexpensive to make an Electrolysis Bath out of things you probably have sitting around you house.
There's some good video's on You Tube on how to build one.

Good Luck !
 
Congratulations on a nice trime✌️ Hoping to see the end result after baking powder and aluminum foil.
 
Great find, congrats!

Congrats on a super find! These trimes do NOT come easy. Try soaking in CLR for a few minutes. After rinsing/drying off, take a No.2 pencil eraser and rub away what's left. You will see a huge difference. Post some after pictures. 🏴‍☠️
