Again nothing exciting but I think I'm getting a little better and closer to the good stuff!! Pennies 1964d, 1979d, 1993, & 1994d. My first dime 1967. A chunk of Aluminum I think. A small but nice pudding stone, I collect them. I was told I have the largest pudding stone in Oakland County. Its 3' wide about 5' to 6' in length and about 2' to 3' thick. Also a key and about 10 pull tabs.
What does everybody do to try and clean the coins and stuff they find? I don't want to damage anything I find so I was just curious?
Thanks, Dave

What's a pudding stone?
We put our clad in a tumbler, clean them, roll them and cash them in. Tumble your pennies seperately.
Older stuff... well, they say not to clean them, but many do, including myself, unless I know it's a valuable piece (which never happens because I'm not that lucky! lol ).

Thanks snowy, This is what a pudding stone is.......
Michigan Puddingstones were formed a billion years ago in northeast Canada. Puddingstone is a type of sedimentary rock which first formed in river channels. During the Ice Age, they were pushed down through Eastern Michigan from Ontario Canada by the glaciers. The white is quartz sand which has cemented itself together over millions of years. Mixed with it is a combination of other pebbles and stones of various sizes, shapes and colors. Some may even contain fossils. Another name for puddingstone is quartz conglomerate, meaning sedimentary rock composed of quartz and various other minerals.

hi dave. snowy gave you some good advice on how to clean your coins. i do the same thing. keep on hunting, and the good stuff will come. i'm glad you posted your finds up.
i am also the proud and very productive owner of bh's pioneer 202. it's just a great machine once you learn it. man, i've found a boatload of relics and old coins with it. i have personally put several other top name brand detectors [and their users] in their place on many occasions. a couple ended up buying the 202, and use them to this day.
i'll never get rid of my pioneer 202! my nautilus and white's will go out the door before it does. hh,
