Not much- but in good condition and two firsts. My first fat indian and eagal butten- found my second two center- it has very good detail but green- tried olive oil. Any other ideas?

Nice group of coins and in pretty good condition. Them fattie Indians don't usually hold up very well, due to the composition of them. Copper with nickle isn't a good mix when exposed to the ground. lol I wouldn't do much with that 2 center. That emerald green patina is the better of the many different green patinas. If you remove it, you may not like what you see :ticked: It usually hides the pits pretty well. Great hunt and worth going back for more :yes:

Nice finds. I agree with coinnut about leaving it the way it is. But if you are really wanting to do something, I use the boiling peroxide method and then soak them in olive oil for a few days. It still lets them keep that old chocolate brown color and just removes the green and dirt

cool finds! yeah i'd leave that 2 center just as it is.like coinnut said. if you take off that green patina.... nothing but, a ugly pitted coin you'll have.
nice job!

Awesome finds. I too would leave well enough alone on the two center. I made the mistake of removing the green on an Injun ONCE! and other than just cleaning with soap and water with a soft tooth brush I leave them as is. Well done to you.
