Thanks! I tried just soap and water but it wasn't getting the cemented dirt off so I read on the forum and decided to try the hot peroxide bath and that with a few toothpicks did the trick! ;)

Went detecting in the woods not far from my house and right off the bat my machine started beeping! :shocked04: First find was a bowl to a pewter spoon (please tell me if I am wrong!) then two feet from that another banging hit and only a couple of inches down I dug my first 2 cent piece 1865 and in fantastic shape! <: I was so happy! Two feet from that I got another hit and it was a dropped musket ball and this was all in the first 5 minutes of the hunt! I was so excited about this site and kept swinging for another few hours, the only other salvageable find for me was a gag loop (which I may have misidentified as a sword holder had I NOT consulted this site before officially ID'ing! :embarrassed:). I am now going to attempt to upload my pictures so we will see how this goes!

Update: Tried to get better shots of the 2 cent piece, hopefully a little less blurry! :crossfingers:
