<p>[QUOTE="weryon, post: 1036914, member: 17622"]nylon toothbrush, olive oil , toothpicks , rose torn and even in the most extremal cases ... electrolysis (not recommended for the new guys , or anyone that wants to clean something worth anything , because a few extra seconds in this machine will rip the patina off your pieces.) And as far as Renaissance wax is concern , it's a great product if applied correctly to the appropriate pieces. I even used some on my roman rings and fibula broaches. A point has to be made that ancient coins and later coins are two different monsters, some of these pieces have stayed in the earth for thousands of years and will defiantly need some sort tender love and care no matter how bad the conservation job. I have pulled items out of the earth using my metal detector that have rotten away before my very eyes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
