I'm going to have to try that olive oil. I've never seen before and after pics so I might just try a before and after with my next green IH/wheatie.
 
I had a good time. Was nice to be out doors and got some exercise....


Yes. I use olive oil on all my finds to help losen the dirt. On copper it will get rid of the green oxidation. It does make copper look darker, but I still think its worth doing to clean coins.

It can take months to soak off all the dirt.

If you're not worried about the value of your finds and want to get it cleaned electrolysis works well too..
 
Congrats on the finds. I haven't tried the olive oil treatment yet, but I will as soon as my hunting season comes around.
 
If you prefer usin' OO, get the best real Italian Extra Virgin olive oil you can find.
After all... (no, I won't go there. :lol:)
