Metal Detecting Deus & Simplex - Bucket list silver and fun finds in the field 

To bring the detail out on a coin, I use Renaissance Wax. I’ve got two artist’s paint brushes, one with normal length bristles and the other I’ve cut the bristles to about a quarter of the original length (you want it to be fairly rigid). After washing the coin, leave to dry. Then I paint the whole coin with wax using the normal brush, and leave for about an hour for the wax to dry. Once dry I polish the coin with the cut down brush (like polishing your shoes) and this brings up the details. Works for me.

Nice one bud !!! Few interesting finds but wot a lovely silver thimble !! 👍👍👍

Some nice finds there mate, I love silver thimbles think I have 5 now, I usually soak my Georgian coppers in some sunflower oil overnight then dry them with kitchen roll really brings out the detail, All the best, cheers, Stu.

Awesome find congrats

Nice finds!

Hi there mate , good video my friend and well done on the thimble a lovely little find , some other nice stuff coming up as well , take care mate ATB Rob .

cool stuff keep them coming

To bring out the detail, I use beeswax followed with a light buffing with a Dremel tool with a felt mop head. it puts a shine on the raised areas and leaves the lower surfaces matt. nicer to handle too. I would only do this with non valuable coins of course.

Nice mixture of finds there sir

Good video buddy I’ve known people to use hairspray to reveal patina on coins apparently that’s what museums do

Awesome video Max. It’s been a while since your last video my friend. But a big well done to you on getting your bucket lister, and a real beauty it is to. Not a bad 2 day hunt, I’d be well chuffed to have got that lot. I’ve heard people use wax to show of their coins, what sort of wax I’m not sure about, wish I could help sorry. What made you use a different machine each day. Thanks Max for sharing.

Well done. I've still never had a Silver thimble. Will you be heading out with the Gauss again any time?

have a look again at the split stone, a face on the front and two on the top.

What version are you using on your Simplex?
