Check to make sure there are no rare dates before you do anything....if there are, I'd send them for professional conservation instead.

Rinse the mud & dirt off very carefully, under a slow stream under the faucet is fine....just don't abrade the surface in any way....'nother words, just let the water work...no rubbing...hope this helps....Billy

That story is way cool. I would definately invest in a medal detector. You might have found $500 out of $100,000!! Keep looking and keep us informed of your findings.

If there's a non key date that you're looking for I'm sure my mother would be willing to sell it to you if we have it seeing as the rest are going to a coin shop for probably half the price (morgan wise since that's all I have sorted for now). I see harsh cleaning damage on a few coins, but I'm using no chemicals to clean what I can off of these rusted ones. Just plain ol' water. We do have a 1928 S peace that's a bit dirty but I'm sure some of you know how to get that off better than I do. Just send me a PM of what you're looking for. I know for a fact that we have no key dates between Morgan or Peace. Anything else there is a chance.
