Soap brings Whites back to life and Gatorade saves clad

[tymcmurray]

My White's 600 DI Pro has been out of commission since a trip to California.
Ever since the trip it was reading everything as a penny....EVERYTHING.
I read on the White's web site the other day that the machines can build
up static electricity and throw of the readings. The answer....a soapy damp
cloth wipe down. It worked!!! SHE"S ALIIIVE!!
Check out the first day back finds.

I was going to soak the dirt off of the clad, but I forgot my watter bottle.
So I put the clad in the only thing I had...a bottle of Gatorade. Check out
how well it cleaned the coins! What a surprise!!!!

It may have only been reading "Penny" because you have a MOUNTAIN of them in the picture!!! Just Kidding, I know that was prior to your hunt. I am glad you brought it back to life and with such a SURPRISING method. A soap-water wipe down. Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That 6000 DI is a great relic machine too!

Heading out Sunday with MDguy, civilman, and Howard.
It will be my first relic hunt with the whites.
We are headed up on the road to Gettysburg.
Wish us luck.

Now that we've seen what Gatorade will do for your coins, why would anyone drink it?

 

[piggman1]

Never heard of the soap wipe down, but if it works that's great. Great haul there, and the Gatoraid seemed to do the trick. If it does that to pennies, I must be sparkling clean inside.

Maybe White's should add that to their manuals. When in doubt take a bath!
Nice job on the cleanup, too. HH and good luck this coming sunday.

well gatorade is a electrolite solution -- its simply water & chemicals that your body needs to "process" its electric signals -- thats why as you sweat and dehydrate (lossing water and the electrical aiding Chemicals your body has a "hard" time) -- --basically its " chemical liquid sweat in a bottle" replacement--- a drinkible IV -- the UF science dept came up with itback in 1965 to help prevent dehydration of their football team -- the original lemon lime flavor was to make it drinkible) -- it has salts in it and s somewhat acidic in nature and is basically a electriolite solution -- I'm not surprized it cleans coins well ---I drink it often while hunting and metal detecting here in florida its hot & easy to get dehydrated-- must admit never thought of using to clean anything -- I know coke cola while corrosive will clean up a penny or remove crud off a battery terminal rapidly -- Ivan
