Mr. Barber And A Tribe Of Indians

[E-Trac-Ohio]

Hunted a 1800's cellar hole that was way back in the woods on a farm a few days ago.
The land owner told me that the house was torn down in the 1950's or 1960's.
Busy with work - will have to clean the finds at a later date - sorry for the low grade photo's.
Great weather and a great hunt !

Barber Dime - 1901
Mercury Dime - 1935-S
Indian Cents - 1866 - 1893 - 1897 - 1897 - 1900
Civil War Store Card / Token - 1863 - C.M. May - Merchant & Taylor - Steubenville, Ohio
This piece has been "Holed" but all the details are very clear - the nicest C.W. Token I've ever found.
The 3rd. & 4th. photo's are the only photo's I could find of the same Store Card - a non dug version.
Only difference is mine is dated 1863 and the non dug is dated 1865.

Good Hunting !

It depends on the condition and composition of the coin or relic to be cleaned.
I use Olive Oil, Peroxide, Baking Soda, Extra Fine Steel Wool, Andre's Pencils, Electrolysis, etc.

That makes sense... I've heard distilled water and lemon juice is used as well....

Would love to try electrolysis....

It's very simple and inexpensive to make a small Electrolysis Bath.
You probably have all that's needed to build one laying around your house or garage.
There's some good video's on You Tube on how to build and use one.
Great for cleaning some Copper / Brass / Bronze / Aluminum and get stuff like Asphalt off Silver coins.

Good Luck !

Nice finds. That token is particularly interesting. I thought the non-dug photo was your token at first 😁. Still a great and unique find.
