barry Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 A little over 3/4 ozt, most have a ugly black substance and a few almost entirely coated. I'll have to find a way to clean the black stuff off. I have a new computer and operating system so I am struggling with posting decent picture with Microsoft Paint. I hope it can be enlarged for better viewing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imaudigger Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 If you use Whinks rust remover, be very careful. It's active ingredient is really bad stuff if you get it on your skin. It works very well, but after some research, I decided to use it as last resort. I would start with something less aggressive. How about a little vinegar and a tooth brush or jewelry cleaner? The manganese dissolves fairly easily. Nice looking gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
