<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mad Stax, post: 24712453, member: 79993&quot;]Hello fine members of Coin Talk! First time I&#039;ve been here in a while but I&#039;ve been saying for many years that I want to start metal detecting and I&#039;ve finally taken the plunge. Searched around the backyard today for about 20 minutes just to get a feel for it. Found a jagged piece of junk metal and.. my first coin! It&#039;s a run of the mill 1975 nickel but I was glad to find a coin nonetheless. I have many questions and surely more to come as I traverse the learning curve but I&#039;ll just toss out the couple that I&#039;m most curious about for the time being.</p><p><br /></p><p>1.The nickel I found is caked in dirt, as is to be expected. I&#039;m currently soaking it in warm soapy water to pretty ol TJ up a bit. If that&#039;s a poor cleaning method I&#039;m not concerned as it&#039;s only worth 5 cents either way, but in the event that I do find something of value what is the best method of cleaning?</p><p><br /></p><p>2.Also, on average, how deep are the shallowest wheat cents and pre 1965 silver coins? I wanna know where the honey holes are at!</p><p><br /></p><p>Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
