Hi Folks. Not much to show. Been rainy and cold here in Ms. Got out between showers yesterday teaching my wife about the F4. Now that I have two detectors she want to go with me when she can. Suits me, shes still my best friend. Anyway, she found a couple of wheats and some clad before she got cold and retired to the truck and warmth. Before we left I decided to go back over a small area with the F75. Managed to pull out a couple more wheats and this, my first IH. Its pretty much toast, but still my first. I have been soaking it in Sierra Mist and hot peroxide trying to pull a date, but so far still can't read it. Any better ideas? I just can't belive how much more sensitive the 75 is over the F4. And how much deeper it will go.

Nice hunt and story. The F75 is one deep sucker!

If that crud resists the prior cleaning suggestions, try 2 ounces white vinegar+1 tsp table salt. It may leave the coin raw & shiny...so try the olive oil first, it much gentler but nowheres near as powerful as salt & vinegar. Stir, shake the solution as this is what activates it. Once the solution stops fizzing the coin, the solution is kaput. Time for another batch. Salt/vinegar is a acid/alkaline mix, so it produces a caustic reaction.

If that crud resists the prior cleaning suggestions, try 2 ounces white vinegar+1 tsp table salt. It may leave the coin raw & shiny...and show all the pitting caused by the green oxidation, so try the olive oil first, it much gentler but nowheres near as powerful as salt & vinegar. Stir, shake the solution till salt is dissolved, as this is what activates it. Once the solution stops fizzing the coin, the solution is kaput. Time for another batch if needed.
