Bubbling Springs Colonial Coppers Clean Up: How I Clean Copper Coins 

Ol Chigg sounding like Bob Ross cleaning them coins up lol.

You should do a storytime type of video when you don't have a relic video, that would be awesome! I also want to say thanks for all the videos you make and knowledge you share, I always look forward to seeing them.

Damn I love that music son ! And of course all the diggin and findin you do ! Happy New Year !

Great video Beau and very informative. I need to clean some finds LOL. Happy Fossicking mate! Warren.

Ahhhh, good ol' face oil. Been using it for years! I am a photographer, and have on occasion worked for custom photo labs in their darkrooms printing photos. If a customer brings in a negative which has acquired some scratches, there is a "no scratch" oily remedy in a bottle you can buy, BUT facial oil is cheaper and works better. 😁 "Chigg Oil", I love it.I That Connecticut coin is very interesting; I was intrigued by the 'holey coin' when you found it. So glad you were able to at least recover some of its identity. If, as you suggested, they nailed that cent into the wood of their doorway as a good luck talisman, perhaps it indicated or harked back to where they were born. It would be a fascinating research project. Great stuff as always, 'Chigg! 😎 You are so good at teaching. I love the history connected to your metal detecting. You make jokes about finding a cache of gold coins, but I think the history of it would excite you more than the monetary value. 😏 Nice work if you can get it, heh like that old Andrew Sisters song. 😄

Thanks chigg, I have used your method every sense the first video, it works great.

Thanks for the tip Chigg. Keep the great videos coming.

Thanks for the vid 😁😁 Happy hunting and greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭

Thank you Chigg for showing us the way to clean things!

Another great video. Thank you for sharing with us.

That thimble looks great my granny had one of them made from silver I don’t know what ever happened to it great video Chigg be safe out there and GOD BLESS you and your family Amen 🙏

👍 Good day guy I enjoy the information all the information about you guys up there binding metals and stuff it's good information I enjoyed it see you on your next

You are so right! You just can’t UNCLEAN a coin. I love it when you share your personal helpful hints! I would like to see MOAR videos like this. Your take on things like this are interesting and helpful. That is what being a Mentor/Teacher is all about. 😉 Thanks! 😊

Hey, man! Thanks for this bonus video and wrap up from your last diggings. I really appreciate the education! Hope you have a safe and blessed time away...

Thank you for an informative video.

...ha ha ha...wiping your face oil like that also gives the added bomus of smearing your face with dirt so you can go out deer hunting. All the natural makeup just shouldn't go to waste. ...ha ha ha... This was very fun as well as instructive. Thanks Chigg! You are definitely a son of the soil!

That Connecticut Copper turned out awesome!! I like how you always share your knowledge and excitment about everything. I LOVE the silliness at the end! It would adventure of a lifetime to PLAY in the dirt with Chigg!!!

Thanks for another video. I remember the older video showing how easily you can ruin the patina on coins. I like seeing some of your newer artifacts cleaned up to show some detail. Thanks again.

Really good segment Chigg , I’ve tried many different ways myself to clean found copper coins , this is good .

The Bob Ross of coin cleaning.

Very Bob Ross like! Love it!

Hello, Poland watching 👍💪

Enjoy your vacation chig!

Beau thanks for the video, I’m a rookie detector I guess one would say but can use all they info I can get. Enjoy watching your videos, there’s nothing like the excitement I get when my detector beeps.

I’ve used the Same process on brass buttons that you showed in a previous video. Works great!

I listen to you all the time you’ve got great videosThis is the video man have a nice day and good hunting hold your breath✌️

That "Chigg Oil" is actually called squalene oil, a natural substance the body produces. Printed products like magazines are generally printed with squalene resistant inks to prevent the ink from smearing from handling. Take some "Chigg Oil" with your finger and smear it on a magazine cover and you'll readily see just how resistant the inks may be. Those that smear the worst are printed with less expensive inks.

Thanks for the tips Chig!

Great video. Love to see more vids like this of you processing your finds.

Hi from Portugal 😊

"my fingernail, which I already have out" LOL

Thank you, big expérienced man, proud to be a subscriber, 👌💪💪💪👍👍👍

Chigg is the bob ross of cleaning coins

Old Chig Ross! Loved this one. Would really like to see a fresh look at your museum!

I learned the hard way about water and a toothbrush on an Indian cent. I thought I could clean it up and I brushed most of the detail off.

Watching you is the first time I knew anything about large cent coins I’ve seen half penny’s but no large cents

Yep I seen the video where you found these great video

Oh Boy it's Chigg Hi 😁

Thanks for sharing!!

Great info Beau! Merci!

Chigg’s ‘Smegma Cleaner’ needs to be a staple in every metal detector’s kit. Hi and a special thanks to Todd. Hope you two go back again to the hot spot, as well as, other colonial era locations. Stay awesome fellas.

Chigg's Army!!! 😁

"Chigg's oil" you killed me, Beau!

That out-tro was an honest to God laugh out loud moment

The nose actually produces squalene which is a very durable natural lubricant so it makes sense to rub your nose before rubbing the coins.

I always like seeing what happens with your finds. I don't care if I've seen you clean coins several times before.

Some of the best advice I've received. I want to come out to play, but I have a fist full of copper coins to clean up.

Good to know!

Thanx Chigg.... very informative if a detectorist hasn't watched you clean some on other videos....really appreciate this one. see ya on the next.... By the way , the weirdo baby doll head was definitely an unexpected trip 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

Yep... I'm going out to play... now! 😁😁

I see the work you do on those coins and that is a lot of tedious work keep it up it’s a good idea video man out

The boss Ross of coin cleang and detecting, gotta love it

Hope your coming to Arizona! The weather is great right now. Not to mention those videos were hands down my favorite.

Chigg sticks fingers in ear to get Chigg oil for coins, haha

Cant wait to see this one. I'll be tuning in more after work😎🇱🇷 I usually just scrape the dirt off of the high points and maybe do the skin oil trick you showed in the past.

"Come on over" blink and smile cracked me up!

I use a US Army laundry bag to use as a back drop for my cartridges when I take a picture of them...lol. Also to catch dirt and not mess up my table. Semper Fi.

I use a product like ren wax on a few of my old coins. I bake the coins at a low temperature to remove water, low enough to avoid discoloration, before applying the product. I am trying to avoid sealing in any water. I have done a quick soak in white vinegar on a few with verdigris before baking. My coins were old Kreutzers and Italian States coins, part of a lot considered cull.

Thimbles were used to push needles through the cloth. A lot of people think it's to protect a finger but it's not. Just a little interesting fact about thimbles!

If only your relics could talk, what a story they would tell! 💕🤗💕

Love the channel and videos like this is cool too 👌👍

Sweet cleanup bud..👍

Agree 100%, I even experimented on some plow wacked coins using water, olive oil & angle grinder...Chigg method the best👍 I wanna play!😉😂👍😊✌

Where can we buy Chig oil?

Kool Video! Im glad you were desperate and made another one on cleaning coins! Now u can do one on buttons since it didnt record lol

lol I actually rewatched your older coin cleaning video last week.

Love the thimble!!

Nice long thorns (from those nasty pricker bushes, not roses) can be used to clean detailed, patinated surfaces without ruining the detail.

Great video..thanks

You ought to bottle that stuff - Chigg's Mystery Coin and Button Oil. Beau Ross and some happy little coins with their button friends.

More bids like this pleeeaase

Chigg oil LMAO 😂 Thanks Chigg for the video. Farmers field coppers are the worst!!! The fertilizer destroys em! You need to get back to that site and find MORE 👍👍👍

Nice video I remember your old video of this lol

Fascinating x 🇮🇲

Patients You Yourself Must Have Always Be Very Patient When You Are Trying To Clean Items. Great Info 👍🇺🇸

Hey Beau, whats your thoughts on mineral spirits on copper coins. I use it on my personal collection not as a cleaner but more presentation as it brings out the details and consistent patina/finish. Ive never attempted to do it with coins right out of the ground, say you?

Awesome!

I found a perfect gun powder flask four a colt pistol it’s actually beautiful but I’m wondering if it would be better if I tried to clean it? Any advice on cleaning relics?

Well done Beau, im still looking for my first thimble...;)

Evening Chigg. Hope you are doing well.

Good idea for a Vid.

Hey man thank you for the video I enjoyed it great information and have a safe trip when you leave I need you to return and make some more good videos for all of us to watch

I was sweating just watching this video. Lol

"Can you come ooooout and plaaaY?"

"I'm a digger" - wait, what'd he say!? LOL

Thanks for sharing...I hope you have a fantastic respite!

For identification purposes you can take the photos of these coins and change the saturation and coloring to pull out details we wouldn't normally see but the camera picks up.

Cool Chig! 👍👍

What do you think about using museum wax stuff?

Love the tammy reference lol

Great video! Do a pet update if you need more vids. We want to see Bobby Wobbles. ;)

Do you worry about the salts in your face oil damaging the copper later? I’d be more inclined to get a very light film of something like rem oil or balistol on my finger.

Hi Rusty

Thanks Chigg. Apparently I've been doing my coins no favors, and should let them dry before I try to clean them. Got it! Now, is that Chigg Oil available by the Ml?.. Never mind I've got plenty of Gast Oil. Thanks for the education on cleaning/saving toast!

Always looking to hang out with the Chigg!!

nice blob top bottles in the bk.ground ....

Great video Beau, I enjoyed it. I have destroyed my fair share of coppers. GL&HH

Hey Chigg ... could you maybe make an update video on your critters?

Hey Chigg I listen to you buddy

15:40 the Chigg sounds like Bob Ross for a few seconds...
