So I just started metal detecting a little while ago and I love it. Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong section I just joined this forum.

In the few times I went searching I found a handful of coins (See pic). They are all in quite a bad shape and not cleaned up yet. Does anyone know how to clean up coins like this without damaging them? I've heard people clean them with oil or a toothbrush, are these good ways to clean them?

Also, could the second picture be a coin? I kinda see a head in it looking to the left. The coin is also very thick.

Thanks

The second pic didn't go in the first post for some reason.

No, the other side is completely flat.
