[QUOTE="Tally, post: 333635, member: 10147"] Got a bit carried away with the 2 x coins as after rinsing still couldn't make anything out. Put them in some lemon juice & table salt, coin found yesterday is Old Queen Victoria Penny can only see year 187?. Queen Victoria Bun Head Penny found the other day year 186? Can make them out better after the lemon juice but they look terrible, have them in olive oil now. Know it's a big no no to clean a coin but didn't see the point in having them not even knowing what they are or being able to see any detail.

Not sure what it is made out off? [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/10147/1495667504_20170525_084735.jpg[/img] Have found some very old broken smooth old red bricks both underground and on surface.
