Re: park finds
Hi uncle6000,welcome to the forum,good to see new people join.
To your question, lemon juice and salt will bring them up like new,if you havn't a lemon tree growing in your back yard vinigar and salt will also do the trick. make sure you rinse them out in soapy water afterwards.
In future could you please post your finds in the general discussion section section as that is the one we use for posting our finds.
Once again welcome great to see you here.
 Raoul

Re: park finds
Hello uncle6000, you might also give WD40 a go on some of your coins. I found that the old coins found on goldfields come up really good. It acts as a lubricant too, so protects the coins. Just wipe dry when finished.
