Hot, dry and dusty - CTX still finds 'em

The iron in this spot is heavy - square nails everywhere - must have masked this keeper for the past 40 years! Also got an 1890 injun, a 1915D buffalo, a very cool Buck Rogers Solar Scout badge (1936), a 1919S Merc and several wheats. Sunday I went back (95

You cleaned those IH's and buffalo nickle really well. Are you using the electrolysis method and baking soda?

Actually, neither - in this park, the indians and nickels come out pretty clean - all I did was get the dirt off with a round toothpick and buff them a bit with a brass brush on my Dremel (low speed).
