They actually look a lot better than I expected. A nice educational experiment, for sure.

I am also surprised to see those teen dates. Nice.

Atleast 50% of them are 1909-1929 it's why I'm so sad and want to keep them even in a clean state. It must had been where he was digging.

I seeing this as practice from when I metal detect at my grandpas farm. I have it pretty much where his old house burnt down in 1964. It was a old farmhouse about a hundred years old when it burnt down when my dad was a kid. They built a new house there but like forty feet away and now it's just lawn.

What does freezing in water do?

I don't know if it does anything more then just soak it. I'm playing with rapid freezing and baking inside a car on the dashboard. I'm hoping the metal shrinks and expands at a different rate of the copper salts and crud on it. It's atleast getting rid of the dust. I heard of stories of it working. Right now on the first freezing pass I have a 20% success rate. I figure that I'm not running too much of a risk of one shattering.

Hm found a 1909 with a super light VDB. I tried to photograph it but it's not showing up but if you tilt it just right you can just make it out. It's a pretty caked one though and being light on it isn't working. I might get some verdicare and try it out on it.

Nice find. That one would be worth it. Let us know how it turns out.
