Arron- Many thanks for an informative display of each of these methods. I'm sure thanks to this many will choose their own best way. Great good stuff. One thing this Scot has learned out here in the US is that "WD" stands for "Water Displacement" and that WD 40 is not a lubricant, but a fluid designed by the oil drilling industry to treat the threaded ends of pipe sections, and machinery to protect it from rust and corrosion from water/drill fluid exposure. So the fact that it doesn't work so well isn't surprising after the fact. Sorry to hear about the weather, although between you and Stephen, the both of you have proven that the Ace 250 works in "every other" condition. Stay warm and well, Best From CA US
Nice trusty lemon juice for all those modern pound coins etc... Add a bit of tin foil and salt to the mix and you are away! Awesome video fudge face! Fanx 👍🏼
Nice one Arron mate. Bang and the surface is gone LOL. Ha ha, it’s a Thrift plant on the back mate! Great experiment and the winner is...dependent on the coin I suppose although I do like a bit of salt & vinegar. Take care bud, GL&HH. Deano.
Hi Aaron - here's my crusty penny's worth: I only detected for about three hours on a beach on hols, and want to do a lot more because coins after a rough sea I found 30+ modern coins. Many coppers were very, very crusty, but the tip I got was vinegar with dissolved household salt and a lot of monitoring, pulling out every 2 to 5 minutes and wiping the sand/green off, as the total process was quick (
There's a lot of confusion with what's best for coin cleaning.I put an old 5p in jif lemon juice for whole day and it striped it of any recognition.I wouldn't use it on any coin of value,it's too acidic.I give my old copper coins a rub with Brasso,and they come up as good as new.But leaving coins in olive oil for a longer time will definitely help to break down any thicker grot to make it easier to clean.Also those flowers on thrupenny bit are thrift.Spring is only around the corner,and we can all get out tectin again.
Nice video mate, and some good advice. If you left an older coin, say George II overnight in Lemon juice it can strip them bare and destroy them. I find that you need to match the substance to the coin, but as a rough guide, the older the coin the gentler you need to go. Just my own experience, and I have wrecked a fair few to be honest. Hope to see you swinging your machine again soon mate. ATB MMMD
Very good test ! Personally if I had a choice to make out of the three, I would choose the olive oil, as the best one of the three choices. Thanks for an awesome video.
A liitle bit trick, try vinegar+salt or lemon juice+salt solution BUT its too strong so leave it in for about 1 minute max and try diferent material coins to test diference in results!!!!
Hi Aaron, I think everyone has said what I was going to say.... the olive oil, is used for delicate coins, but it does take a long time..... take care Tom
The best method is to use Harpic 100% Limescale Remover Original on any old coins you want to display soak for about 2 hours to start with then clean with tooth brush and soap and take it from there some coins longer and some shorter try it
hi great vid you just shown a big coin in your hand at 3.35 on the video i think i found one of them not sure as i can't tell what it is, and it looks silver can you give any info please cheers
The best way to clean old crud coins that have NO VALUE that you want for your collection is buy Harpic 100/% LIMESCALE REMOVER ORIGINAL pour enough to cover the coins into a small plastic container leave them soaking for about one hour for starters take them out and clean them gently with a soapy Brillopad and water you will be amazed at the result , some coins take longer depending on the crud that's on them always start with a short time soaking .

Great try, interesting,
Hi Arron try soaking coins in true Coca Cola some copper I had to clean came up like new good hunting
how about Pepsi?
Try Automotive Valve Grinding Compound.
Thanks for the test 👍
thx for the experiment
We used to use Brown source or vinegar to clean our coins
The best method is to use Harpic 100% Limescale Remover Original on any old coins you want to display soak for about 2 hours to
start with then clean with tooth brush and soap and take it from there some coins longer and some shorter try it
Is there any substance which completely blocks a metal detector signal, so that you get no reaction from the equipment? Dense rubber?
hi great vid you just shown a big coin in your hand at 3.35 on the video i think i found one of them not sure as i can't tell what it is, and it looks silver can you give any info please cheers

WD40 was invented by NASA and it means Water Displacement #40 the #40 being the 40th mix (try at getting it right).
Lemon juice for me
Lemon Juice, acid. Yuck I hate that pink color. Bronze is suppose to be Bronze not pink.
Coke cleans coins well.
How much added value for the coin.
