How to Clean, Conserve, Repair, Restore, Replicate, Store, Photograph and Display Metal Detecting Finds For Fun And Profit

You have worked hard to recover your finds, the last thing you want to do is to throw them in a drawer and leave them to corrode to dust, for if you don’t take a few basic precautions that is what could happen. I know the problem; I searched high and low for simple practical information on cleaning and conserving coins and relics only to be told to take them to a conservator. That’s great advice if the find is rare, valuable or historically important but most dug metal objects are not worth the cost of employing an expert. Now you don’t have to! This book shows you how you can quickly and easily learn simple, low cost techniques to turn your dirty old coins and artefacts into stable and great-looking art works you can proudly display and so much more…You will become the expert!

Safe Storage

A very easy way of safely preserving your coins and artefacts forever.

Identification and Assessment

You need to know what your find is and if it is valuable before you undertake any cleaning. You will learn how to identify and value your coins and artifacts and distinguish Aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, cupronickel, gold, iron, lead, nickel, pewter, platinum, silver, steel, tin, zinc and other metals.

Repair, Restoration & Replication

To enhance your damaged coins and artifacts here’s how to join, repair, reshape and restore in short order. And you can keep your finds, while sharing them or selling them, at the same time, by making replicas. You won’t believe how easy metal casting is until you read this chapter.

Photographing Your Finds

Close-up photography of small metal objects is difficult to master…unless you have The Coin and Relic Manager to guide you every step of the way.
