Couple Mercs 20 & 29, Gnared up wheats, CLEANED UP 1804 Half Cent & 1864 2-Cent

Had to change up my 1700's hot spot for a park yesterday. Pulled '20 &29 Merc, and 7 gnarred up wheats that were close to a brackish body of water. Can barely read dates, but saw a 35, 41, and 41.

The one merc cleaned up with baking soda and a rub of the fingers, but the other one isn't budging with anything! Do I resort to electrolysis? Do I even waste my time on one 1929 merc? Any suggestions?

Also, I am posting my peroxide treated 1804 Half Cent and 1864 2-Cent piece that I found and posted last week in my other continuous mega-thread which seems to have died. See http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,182228.0.html for some other cool finds from that location.

( I also thought the peroxide results could use some exposure since the 2 cent came out so well) Check it.

Awesome copper finds, those are in great shape for being dug!!

A child with adult supervision could use an Electrolysis system. :D It is easy, educational, and fun for kids..... I made one from this link http://gometaldetecting.com/electrolysis_cleaning.htm Easy cheap and fast. ;D This thing, works wonders I love it.... Make one and have fun !! ;D :thumbsup:

Children please talk to your folks about this before trying to make and use one.... :blob8: :o

Keep @ it and HH!! ;D
