Steel Pennie

[kurt-ks]

Hello All,Was stuck at home all day doing a honey do list from he$$,so only got to hunt for an hour or so.Well not much time, so decided to hunt my front yard,haven't hit it to hard yet.Being my house was built in 1906 figured I could find some old coins.I found a 1941 nickel,several Wheaties 1926,36,42,45 My best find,well a first for me is a 43 steel pennie!!! I just don't know how to go about cleaning it? I have used electrolysis before,but didn't know if it would be to harsh on it? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks--Kurt


Will post some pics when I get cleaned up

I have dug a few steel pennies. It means you are digging ALL SIGNALS. Congrats I consider that a challenging find.
