Is that molasses technique damaging the coins ot just freeing the crust?

 

[silver]

I'll pull em out n well have a look n see when I get the chance AR, then I'll pop em back in for the long haul. (I'll only use tap water to clean em during the looksee, n I'll make sure I do a before n after, n pull a bit of sludge for a photo too ,.... m sitting in the shade on driver duty thinking, mmmm the detector is in the boot, but, me leg is sore and I know not when the bell will toll ! :lol:

Glad your enjoying it all, it's a nice part of life to be there on the ground and then be able to share it all, becomes a part of life in an entirely unexpected way over time, bit like a book or an open diary in a way, has its little secrets tucked away here n there through it to be found or stumbled across.
Cheers without beers.
Silver.

 

[silver]

Different trees, different shade, different time, still waiting to drive, so I did the deed and got the detector out, had about 7-10 minutes on the ground before I got the call to be there ,...... but, got one coin in that time, thinking it could be a 6d, but not sure yet.

smaller than a 5c.

gunna need a good clean, that's for certain ! 8)

Hey Silver....have you ever been struck by lightning.....Cause you seem to be some sort of a coin magnet.......Nice find

 

[silver]

Touch wood at that question Smokey ,... not yet mate !
