<p>[QUOTE="KDD, post: 4142277, member: 110611"]I am actually feeling better on day #2. Sifted through some of the coins that caught my attention. The smallest I think was around 6mm in size, round too so not chipped/missing edges. The most interesting one to me is 8mm in size but is very dense. I'm really curious to find out what that is. A lot of the small ones are fairly round, so if only I can see their faces they might have some basic worth.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I handle them with gloves, tonnes of rust comes off them. I would be inclined to put the whole lot of coins through distilled water and then baking them on low in the oven for 30 minutes, but I need to research that a bit first and didn't try it this morning. I am confident there are a number of medieval coins here. Some of the coins without eyeloop at hand just look like an alphabet soup to me? I can't make out images.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
