Yesterday hunted a couple old lots. I got 6 wheats oldest was 1910. Found a 1921 buffalo, worn 1920 merc, a token of some sort dated 1890 back has no writing, really not sure what it is. Then also got a couple relics, buckle, hem weight little religious charm.

Is that the way you found that buffalo? Mine never come out of the ground nice at all and if I hit it with a toothbrush...it seems to take the black off and hard to discern it is even a buffalo?? What did you do to make it look so nice?

here is detailed instructions from my website:

NICKELS:
Nickels are the hardest of all coins in my opinion to make look good, and I have tried tons of methods that I have read online. Unless you have a key date nickel, it is going to carry very little value, so if you want to make it look better for your display case or coin folder then here is what I do. I buy SOS pads at walmart the kind with soap right in them. SOS pads are basically just a super fine steel wool. I get the pad wet and rub the nickel under running water with the SOS pad. It removes the built up gunk that nickels get on them and removes most of the red oxidation that nickels always have. Now it is up to you how much you want to remove. The longer you scrub the more red you get rid of. I simply just rub it long enough to remove the gunk and to be able to see the details, date etc better. Then I dry the coin and apply the wax to it as in the method above, works wonders on nickels as well as copper coins. I have tried vinegar, ketchup, lime a way, etc
