You should do a storytime type of video when you don't have a relic video, that would be awesome! I also want to say thanks for all the videos you make and knowledge you share, I always look forward to seeing them.
Ahhhh, good ol' face oil. Been using it for years! I am a photographer, and have on occasion worked for custom photo labs in their darkrooms printing photos. If a customer brings in a negative which has acquired some scratches, there is a "no scratch" oily remedy in a bottle you can buy, BUT facial oil is cheaper and works better. 😁 "Chigg Oil", I love it.I That Connecticut coin is very interesting; I was intrigued by the 'holey coin' when you found it. So glad you were able to at least recover some of its identity. If, as you suggested, they nailed that cent into the wood of their doorway as a good luck talisman, perhaps it indicated or harked back to where they were born. It would be a fascinating research project. Great stuff as always, 'Chigg! 😎 You are so good at teaching. I love the history connected to your metal detecting. You make jokes about finding a cache of gold coins, but I think the history of it would excite you more than the monetary value. 😏 Nice work if you can get it, heh like that old Andrew Sisters song. 😄
...ha ha ha...wiping your face oil like that also gives the added bomus of smearing your face with dirt so you can go out deer hunting. All the natural makeup just shouldn't go to waste. ...ha ha ha... This was very fun as well as instructive. Thanks Chigg! You are definitely a son of the soil!
That Connecticut Copper turned out awesome!! I like how you always share your knowledge and excitment about everything. I LOVE the silliness at the end! It would adventure of a lifetime to PLAY in the dirt with Chigg!!!
Hey, man! Thanks for this bonus video and wrap up from your last diggings. I really appreciate the education! Hope you have a safe and blessed time away...
Thanks for another video. I remember the older video showing how easily you can ruin the patina on coins. I like seeing some of your newer artifacts cleaned up to show some detail. Thanks again.
If anyone is interested here is a link to one of Chigg's older coin cleaning videos that shows what can happen by over cleaning the coins. You can find more in his playlists under, How to videos. ruclips.net/video/w7cfVkadI_A/видео.html
That thimble looks great my granny had one of them made from silver I don’t know what ever happened to it great video Chigg be safe out there and GOD BLESS you and your family Amen 🙏
You are so right! You just can’t UNCLEAN a coin. I love it when you share your personal helpful hints! I would like to see MOAR videos like this. Your take on things like this are interesting and helpful. That is what being a Mentor/Teacher is all about. 😉 Thanks! 😊
Chigg’s ‘Smegma Cleaner’ needs to be a staple in every metal detector’s kit. Hi and a special thanks to Todd. Hope you two go back again to the hot spot, as well as, other colonial era locations. Stay awesome fellas.
👍 Good day guy I enjoy the information all the information about you guys up there binding metals and stuff it's good information I enjoyed it see you on your next
Beau thanks for the video, I’m a rookie detector I guess one would say but can use all they info I can get. Enjoy watching your videos, there’s nothing like the excitement I get when my detector beeps.
That "Chigg Oil" is actually called squalene oil, a natural substance the body produces. Printed products like magazines are generally printed with squalene resistant inks to prevent the ink from smearing from handling. Take some "Chigg Oil" with your finger and smear it on a magazine cover and you'll readily see just how resistant the inks may be. Those that smear the worst are printed with less expensive inks.
Thanx Chigg.... very informative if a detectorist hasn't watched you clean some on other videos....really appreciate this one. see ya on the next.... By the way , the weirdo baby doll head was definitely an unexpected trip 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
I use a US Army laundry bag to use as a back drop for my cartridges when I take a picture of them...lol. Also to catch dirt and not mess up my table. Semper Fi.
Cant wait to see this one. I'll be tuning in more after work😎🇱🇷 I usually just scrape the dirt off of the high points and maybe do the skin oil trick you showed in the past.
Awesome! Finally watched and I'm the same way when I clean them. It took me ruining a few good coins to learn how to actually know my stopping points over the years. Hopefully this will save some folks from going too far.
I use a product like ren wax on a few of my old coins. I bake the coins at a low temperature to remove water, low enough to avoid discoloration, before applying the product. I am trying to avoid sealing in any water. I have done a quick soak in white vinegar on a few with verdigris before baking. My coins were old Kreutzers and Italian States coins, part of a lot considered cull.
Chigg oil LMAO 😂 Thanks Chigg for the video. Farmers field coppers are the worst!!! The fertilizer destroys em! You need to get back to that site and find MORE 👍👍👍
For identification purposes you can take the photos of these coins and change the saturation and coloring to pull out details we wouldn't normally see but the camera picks up.
Thimbles were used to push needles through the cloth. A lot of people think it's to protect a finger but it's not. Just a little interesting fact about thimbles!
Hey man thank you for the video I enjoyed it great information and have a safe trip when you leave I need you to return and make some more good videos for all of us to watch
Beau on your last episode, I thought the coin with a hole in center it looked like a 1787 Ct. copper I read right side of coin brittania on reverse with date 1787
Hey Beau, whats your thoughts on mineral spirits on copper coins. I use it on my personal collection not as a cleaner but more presentation as it brings out the details and consistent patina/finish. Ive never attempted to do it with coins right out of the ground, say you?
I found a perfect gun powder flask four a colt pistol it’s actually beautiful but I’m wondering if it would be better if I tried to clean it? Any advice on cleaning relics?
The water reacts with the copper, it corrodes it/chemically alters the surface. It basically fries your coins and you lose most detail. It’s fine on silver coins (or gold) but it kills old dug copper coins dead usually. When you can’t see much detail on an old dug copper it’s so tempting to just run it under the water but you can kiss that coins goodbye most time you do that. A lesson I’m sure many a detectorist has learned the hard way, including myself. I can’t explain the process scientifically but I can 15:46 tell you it happens.
Ol Chigg sounding like Bob Ross cleaning them coins up lol.
You should do a storytime type of video when you don't have a relic video, that would be awesome! I also want to say thanks for all the videos you make and knowledge you share, I always look forward to seeing them.
Damn I love that music son ! And of course all the diggin and findin you do ! Happy New Year !
The boss Ross of coin cleang and detecting, gotta love it
I was thinking the same thing.
Put a happy little daub of Chig oil in the corner.
Ron Watson “Happy little coins.”
@@TheMyeloman you should watch the warriors clip it's chigg with bottles on his fingers ayong come out to play
The way Chig was scratching those coins, triggered my ASMR just like Bob Ross scratching the canvas with his paint brush.

Thanks for the tip Chigg. Keep the great videos coming.
Great video Beau and very informative. I need to clean some finds LOL. Happy Fossicking mate! Warren.
Thanks chigg, I have used your method every sense the first video, it works great.

Very Bob Ross like! Love it!

Happy hunting and greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭
Really good segment Chigg , I’ve tried many different ways myself to clean found copper coins , this is good .
Thank you for an informative video.
Another great video. Thank you for sharing with us.

That out-tro was an honest to God laugh out loud moment
Enjoy your vacation chig!
Where can we buy Chig oil?
I’ve used the Same process on brass buttons that you showed in a previous video. Works great!
Yep I seen the video where you found these great video
Oh Boy it's Chigg Hi 😁
Thanks for the tips Chig!
Great video. Love to see more vids like this of you processing your finds.
Hello, Poland watching 👍💪
I learned the hard way about water and a toothbrush on an Indian cent. I thought I could clean it up and I brushed most of the detail off.
I always like seeing what happens with your finds. I don't care if I've seen you clean coins several times before.
nice blob top bottles in the bk.ground ....
Great info Beau! Merci!
I listen to you all the time you’ve got great videosThis is the video man have a nice day and good hunting hold your breath✌️
Hi from Portugal 😊
Some of the best advice I've received. I want to come out to play, but I have a fist full of copper coins to clean up.
Watching you is the first time I knew anything about large cent coins I’ve seen half penny’s but no large cents
I see the work you do on those coins and that is a lot of tedious work keep it up it’s a good idea video man out
Good to know!
Hope your coming to Arizona! The weather is great right now. Not to mention those videos were hands down my favorite.
Yep... I'm going out to play... now! 😁😁
Love the thimble!!
The Bob Ross of coin cleaning.

Chigg is the bob ross of cleaning coins
"Chigg's oil" you killed me, Beau!
Thanx Chigg.... very informative if a detectorist hasn't watched you clean some on other videos....really appreciate this one.
see ya on the next....
By the way , the weirdo baby doll head was definitely an unexpected trip
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
I use a US Army laundry bag to use as a back drop for my cartridges when I take a picture of them...lol. Also to catch dirt and not mess up my table. Semper Fi.
The nose actually produces squalene which is a very durable natural lubricant so it makes sense to rub your nose before rubbing the coins.
Hey Chigg ... could you maybe make an update video on your critters?
lol I actually rewatched your older coin cleaning video last week.
"Come on over" blink and smile cracked me up!
Thank you, big expérienced man, proud to be a subscriber, 👌💪💪💪👍👍👍
Sweet cleanup bud..👍
Love the channel and videos like this is cool too 👌👍
Great video..thanks

Evening Chigg. Hope you are doing well.
Chigg oil LMAO 😂 Thanks Chigg for the video. Farmers field coppers are the worst!!! The fertilizer destroys em! You need to get back to that site and find MORE 👍👍👍
Fascinating x 🇮🇲
Good idea for a Vid.
Agree 100%, I even experimented on some plow wacked coins using water, olive oil & angle grinder...Chigg method the best👍
I wanna play!😉😂👍😊✌
More bids like this pleeeaase
Kool Video! Im glad you were desperate and made another one on cleaning coins! Now u can do one on buttons since it didnt record lol
For identification purposes you can take the photos of these coins and change the saturation and coloring to pull out details we wouldn't normally see but the camera picks up.
Hi Rusty
You ought to bottle that stuff - Chigg's Mystery Coin and Button Oil.
Beau Ross and some happy little coins with their button friends.
Well done Beau, im still looking for my first thimble...;)
Thimbles were used to push needles through the cloth. A lot of people think it's to protect a finger but it's not. Just a little interesting fact about thimbles!
Nice video I remember your old video of this lol
Thanks for sharing...I hope you have a fantastic respite!
Hey man thank you for the video I enjoyed it great information and have a safe trip when you leave I need you to return and make some more good videos for all of us to watch
Always looking to hang out with the Chigg!!
How’s Bobby wobbles doing???
If only your relics could talk, what a story they would tell! 💕🤗💕
Nice long thorns (from those nasty pricker bushes, not roses) can be used to clean detailed, patinated surfaces without ruining the detail.
Chigg noticed the bottles on the wall. If you break up a denture tablet inside of the bottle and fill with water it will look like new inside.
What do you think about using museum wax stuff?
Beau on your last episode, I thought the coin with a hole in center it looked like a 1787 Ct. copper I read right side of coin brittania on reverse with date 1787
Chigg sticks fingers in ear to get Chigg oil for coins, haha
Hey Chigg I listen to you buddy
Nice Connecticut copper chigg! Bet that one thin coin is a kg1
Great video! Do a pet update if you need more vids. We want to see Bobby Wobbles. ;)
Where can you buy Chigg Oil?
Hey Beau, whats your thoughts on mineral spirits on copper coins. I use it on my personal collection not as a cleaner but more presentation as it brings out the details and consistent patina/finish. Ive never attempted to do it with coins right out of the ground, say you?
Patients You Yourself Must Have Always Be Very Patient When You Are Trying To Clean Items. Great Info 👍🇺🇸
I found a perfect gun powder flask four a colt pistol it’s actually beautiful but I’m wondering if it would be better if I tried to clean it? Any advice on cleaning relics?
I'm wondering if the coffee mug on the shelf behind you is a two point mug? Or a four point mug?🤣
Awesome
Hi Chigg can you maby make a collection tour? Great video again :)
What's damaging about spraying mud off with water in the field?
The water reacts with the copper, it corrodes it/chemically alters the surface. It basically fries your coins and you lose most detail. It’s fine on silver coins (or gold) but it kills old dug copper coins dead usually. When you can’t see much detail on an old dug copper it’s so tempting to just run it under the water but you can kiss that coins goodbye most time you do that. A lesson I’m sure many a detectorist has learned the hard way, including myself. I can’t explain the process scientifically but I can 15:46 tell you it happens.
Do you sell chig-oil? I need to clean a lot of older coins...
