My 1st hunt with my new Garrett Ace 250

[Fuzzbg]

After taking advice from ivobg, I set off for a quick scout around the old field that I found the damaged Roman Fibula, a while back.
1st ding was what looks like some sort of bronze valve?
2nd ding was a small roman coin !!!
This is my 2nd Roman coin of all time.
Well chuffed,& a big thanks to ivobg.....
Pictures to follow, coin is soaking in disitilled water

Soaked in distilled water overnight, then put some olive oil on...
Still needs more gentle cleaning ?
Would electrolysis be OK ?, I have a tank ready ....

No leave it, any more cleaning will make it worse.

Thanks.
Most of the dirt has just lifted off with a wooden cocktail stick, is it ok to leave in the oil ?

Looks good exactly how it is .

I hear so many stories of over cleaning, so prefer to leave them like this....
They are old after all.
Its amazing watching the detail come through.....just using distilled water & a tiny bit of lemon juice, & a cut down toothbrush.

Very nice! Do you know a date range and type of coin that this is? Great job!
