<p>[QUOTE="rrdenarius, post: 4287762, member: 75525"]A package just arrived from Italy. I was not 100% sure how to treat / disinfect it. I used a Clorox wipe, let it dry and called it good. My minnow came with 3 other coins. I really wanted the cast semis and bought 3 others to spread the cost of postage. I will post the others later.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1091349[/ATTACH] </p><p>The small struck dolphin goes with a cast dolphin from the same town.
