<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AnemicOak, post: 124560, member: 5224&quot;]As others have said Olive Oil is one of the tried &amp; true methods.</p><p><br /></p><p>Check into a couple of the uncleaned coins Yahoo groups, you&#039;ll get lots of help there.&nbsp; As far as them being unsearched, unless you&#039;re buying directly from the diggers they&#039;ve most likely been gone through before you get them.&nbsp; Even the diggers know to keep an eye out for anything gold or silver &amp; pull it out.&nbsp; The wholesalers over there are well trained in going through looking for anything of huge value, although sometimes folks get lucky because if it&#039;s to dirty they&#039;ll miss something. Although from your statements it sounds like you get that most if not all aren&#039;t likely to be valuable.</p><p><br /></p><p>I tried these uncleaneds from some of the more reputable places recommended by the folks on one of the uncleaned coins groups &amp; after a year they&#039;re pretty much either coins that are worn smooth or with very little detail.&nbsp; Out of about 100 I think we were able to ID 5 or 6, which wasn&#039;t considered a terrible ratio.&nbsp; Not worth it to me (I&#039;d rather buy a couple nice coins), but lots of folks have fun with it &amp; some do quite well.&nbsp; Just stay away from the eBay sharks with &quot;gold found&quot; in their ads.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
