[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 183312, member: 3775"] That's why I said don't walk away and leave it cooking, once the cooking starts you can rub the dull staining off with just your thumb, or use a tooth brush, but once it starts to loosen up Jif/Cif and a tooth brush will get the worst off,, If ever you find any copper coins that are heavily corroded don't clean them, I Once found the 2 most Valuable English pennies that had a letter code on each one and these Buggers were worth Thousands and as I was getting undressed to get in the bath to warm up coz it was minus 12c out side when I stopped detecting I knocked the 2 coins into the Bath and although the coins looked perfect but they were dark green with patina the hot water took that coating straight off in second and stuffed them, I kid you not they were worth MEGA Bucks and lost in seconds.
