<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 2725938, member: 76086&quot;]One can relate to this story.&nbsp; I once had two extremely nice Celtic fibulae which had been seriously over-cleaned.&nbsp; I decided to bury them in the ground and let them tone back down naturally.&nbsp; Yea, one can guess, I forgot where I put them.&nbsp; They aren&#039;t gone, just sitting somewhere ready for another to dig them up in another thousand years and assume that the Celts had mysteriously settled California.</p><p><br /></p><p>My one and only entry into cleaning via electrolysis resulted in my disintegrating a very rare coin.&nbsp; Too many variables (the solution, the power level, the time, etc).&nbsp; I no longer clean anything.&nbsp; I do still have a nice EF+ Maximianus sestertius I am trying to tone down.&nbsp; Over the winter I nearly lost it a couple times, it currently resides in a pot of soil on top of my water heater as I know not what the heck to do with it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
