<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kentucky, post: 8074041, member: 33176&quot;]The very gentlest way to deal with ancients is the soaking and (perhaps) using a toothbrush.&nbsp; Water seems to be the preferred soaking medium, some use distilled or deionized from the start, but I think tap water is fine and you can finish with distilled water.&nbsp; Also adding soap or detergent is quite common.&nbsp; Most ancients have been exposed to the elements for so long, extreme measures might be necessary, including prodding stuff off with a dental pick.&nbsp; It depends on the unclean ancients you start with.&nbsp; Oil generally takes longer and can darken your bronze coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
