    Cleaned old coin purse find.

    Sorry it took so long but busy busy busy. These are the coins and the purse I found last weekend and posted before cleaning pics. These pics are of the coins and purse cleanded with soap, water adn a soft tooth brush. I am going to clean them up even better with some polish and post them again. (I know, a little over posting but what the heck) The last pic is of all the good coins I found in the yard after a five hour hunt.
