Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 04/28/2019 4:49 pm That is great metal detecting find. I've been detecting for seven years now and have not even found a single "V" Nickel. To pull the key date out of the ground is pretty remarkable. It looks like it was in pretty nice shape when it was dropped. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff

GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 04/29/2019 10:55 am Try the three stages of conservation, First: soak it in distilled water to remove surface dirts and whatnot. Repeat 2 or 3 times or until water doesn't change color or lose clarity. Change water frequently so the stuff doesn't re-deposit. Second: give it an acetone bath (remember only 100% pure). Do it for an hour or 2 at a time, make sure to rinse it with more distilled water after removing it, and change out the acetone. Repeat a couple times. Third: if you proceed to this step post pics first so we can evaluate. I have found semi-key indians and sometimes verdi-care is needed to stop or slow the worst of the corrosion. Don't do this without consultation. Verdi-care can react oddly with burried coins, especially nickels, because of how they react with ground contamintes. Report this Post to the Staff
