          Do you know what did he use to remove the debris and rust? Any strong chemical? I guess he did not use brushing?

            It's still nice to find such things

            I like it not to ever sell it but to keep it in youre own collection as youre top find

              Yes indeed. He uses "durgol" a strong Descaler--> It should NEVER be used to clean, enemal, nature stone,...
              I warned him, the enemal is destroyed after seconds. Durgol is good for iron buckles, Alu, and so on. But it kills the color of buckles.

                  One cannot very well leave those contaminates on, it would end up getting eaten up just the same.
                  I metal detect, and often find coins that have been in the ground far longer than these.
                  They only cleaning method I use is warm water and a toothbrush - Of course, relic coins are not very comparable to medals, medals are far more challenging.

                  All in all i think he did a decent job, hopefully he will settle for a method a bit less caustic in the future - Concentrated steam + toothbrush may be an option.

                    Silverbrush is a must have (not only for coins also for enemaled items), destilled water, much time, maybe a ultrasonic cleaner (alos not for enemal) ... these methods are very gentle.
