Thanks Goldie,
that's the best demonstration I've ever seen.
We have one park here in Stocktown where all coins are really cruddy.
They are already worthless so I guess I'll give it a try.
Does this only work for silver or does it also work on Wheaties?
Thanks.
Martin

It will work on most metals except iron or steel. One thing I might also note-do NOT immerse the alligator clips in the water. Dan3

Hello Goldie,
I tired it.
Worked great. The coins are still rough looking, but at least they are shiny.
How can I not submerse the clip with the coin in the water??
I keep the one of the fork/spoon out of it, but the one with the coin has to be in the water to totally cover the coin with fluids right?
I am gonna give it a shot on some of the cruddy wheats I got. I even stopped cleaning them at all.
Just getting so many of em and unless it's a keydate really no point in putting too much effort into it.
HH and thanks.
Martin

I use a wooden clothes pin to keep the clip up and do half of the coin at a time. You can also make a paste out of baking soda and water to rub the coin after the electrolysis (not on good coins).

Hi Dan, you don't say why you should'nt immerse the clips in the water,  in the demo they have one clip in the water and one out, Thanks Mark |

Well I tried it out and it came out o.k. Not all of the stain came off but I did'nt leave it in that long, about 7 minutes. Here are before and after pics. HH Mark   |
