How do you clean valuable coins?

[RevolutionIncorp]

@silver21lady dont

[zekehooper]

With a screw driver like he showed you are "air-ratting" the ground too. So it is a good thing. I need to practice this. Great info.

Thanks for the info!!!!! That is why I hunt in the woods because you still cover your hole back up, but you don't have to worry about it being extremely neat! Thanks again - Planejet42

I really enjoyed this video. Your a credit to the hobby.......and a pretty darn good detectorist. Looking forward to your future uploads.

Nice video!! I hate seeing all them nasty plugs.............. I like the screwdriver theory ... But something like a durable plastic rod not to scratch the coins...GOOD JOB!

[MarcfromTreasureNet1]

It also helps to confirm the pinpoint job of the detector with a dowsing rod or ouija board

Ron 1 thing folks don't consider is, it could be their luck that they step in a hole they just dug and break there own leg

Hey Chicago Ron.. I really like this. Very commendable! Thanks for taking the time to make such an excellent video :-) My only question is: Have you ever been stopped from metal detecting in a public park? And I'd be concerned that that long handled digger (even though it has a small cutting end) would raise some eyebrows.

@MickTwin Thanks for the kind words1

I have been approached by park district workers and after I show all the trash I am removing and no marks in the grass they usually say thanks, have a nice day and good luck!

I also have a towel in my hand that usually covers the blade.

This is a very important video a lot of careless detectorists need to see. I also have seen a lot of sloppy jobs that made me cringe inside. 

[GrizzlyGroundswell]

Awesome How To Video! Had to share on Backyardtemerity blog!

@Lightstryder

Most of the targets under 3 or 4 inches wont be silver coins, unless you have heavy clay soil. The problem with recovering shallow targets with a plug is you usually have to destroy the plug to recover the target. This is just the most park friendly way to recover shallow targets.

Yes you will occasionly scratch a silver. You can also use a brass probe which will be less likely to scratch the silver.

Nice video...

[garbageguru1]

Thanks a lot for showing how it is done properly.Those other peoples holes were horrible.You can see why places get closed to detecting.

[COMMANDERJSP]

Great tips!
