Hey everyone,Dan had said in a previous post when I needed one more large cent to break last years record & his quote was those areas look real nice Dave and as i said over the phone , you'll get that copper and i hope its a real fine keeper too
the 1842 braided hair i dug yesterday I knew had some detail under the baked on black crud & today i was lookin at it under the loop and started scrubbin it with hot water and dish soap.I saw the liberty come through nicely & decided to hot perxoxide it.the black wouldn't flake off like most coins do,so i worked it with the toothbrush and kept ploppin it in the peroxide & scrubbing.
I was very pleased at the way it came out.i never had much luck diggin a good braided hair but this one is gorgeous.thanks for the good luck Dan! |
