 Hi Folks

I have a pile of metal detected coins, any ideas on how to clean them?

Cheers

 they say put them in a container and pour a can of coke in, leave to soak overnight, I have never tried it. If it dont work you can allways drink the coke gives it a nicer flavour

As a rule, don't clean.......it will kill the value if you do happen to have a rare piece !

COKE absolute NO NO ! as is HP sauce ! ......it will bring up copper coins nice and bright but ABSOLUTELY F**K them !

Silver coins light soap and warm water but dont start rubbing to hard, same with Gold

If you have non valuable bronze dust off the dirt when dry and a little vaseline between the fingers will bring up the design
