[QUOTE="heliospace, post: 522164, member: 12265"]Dave, At least you have a good heart about it. It happens. You know, I've was guilty of rubbing my first .999 silver proof coins I purchased back in 2000. I had been told by my old man that I should never clean a coin. Well, I never have. But I did wipe a spot off some silver once...and left a bunch of nice hairline trace marks on the mirror finish too. Not detectable by eye, not easily anyways. But a magnifier, definitely tons. We live and learn, yeah? And hey, it's cool that you're into metal detecting. I am opting to go into it. And seeing what you've found makes me want to do it fast. I sort of have an idea of a spot of where there may be buried treasure [laugh!] at least in my hopes and dreams. ;) Anyways, I am going to link you to another site that may become very useful for you during your metal detecting and cleaning escapades. I have to find the link. *time passes...* *time passes...* Ah, here it is: [url]http://www.pcgs.com/articles/article_view.chtml?artid=690&universeid=105&type=1[/url] I don't think that's precisely the one, but there's some advice in there... It was a PCGS article I remember that was pretty detailed...Then again, that may be the one! It's been awhile. But it does offer some good advice, albeit mild. Have a great night, Dave. Aaron[/QUOTE]
