terra silva

[texta]

took the terra out for an hour , its been a few weeks .and its been a long time since i scored a florin even though i have taken 40 or more from this spot of mine anyway today after a long florin drought i harvested 2 of em 15 minutes apart also cam up with 1 sixpence and 2 threepence's.
the older of the 2 florins was worn half away so i just scrubbed it with a scourer (probably to rough in hind sight ) its is a 1917 the other florin 1951 the sixpence 1951 and the 2 little tackers 42 and 52 .funny never found a brown b**** . i did use a different coil today i took off my bigger DD and put the little oval 18.75 coil on just for a change .

I don't were you got that idea from but I am giving you all the credit

That is a perfect treatment for a rarer coin.

Fantastic result :Y:

Mmmm, shiny. Got mine in Lemon juice as we speak :Y:

 

[texta]

just dont forget after you take them out of the juice give them a good wash and then hit them with some bi-carb soda to kill any acid left in the metal .
