114 year old dime

I enjoyed the day today with Red &
Greg from NB. We were at the N.B.water treatment plant field
Yesterday Red got a nice Mercury dime and a Wheatie. Today he got some clad and another Merc and a Wheatie.
After Red left Greg got a 1902 Barber dime. (His very first Barber)
Just a few moments later I excavated a 1892 Barber dime @ 2 inches deep. Both were in pretty nice shape.

A bit before that I got a large penny. It is in pretty bad shape and is soaking in Olive Oil.(It might take a long time before it is decent enough for a picture). All I can barely make out are the first 2 numbers 17 on the date and the rough outline of the head.

I also got 1 quarter-2 pennies-1 very old broomstick type screwed insulator-1 fork- and a glass condiment bottle. It is 5" tall with a pouring spout and a handle. On the bottom it has the number 6 then the letters LP then the numbers 26 embossed on it. It was 10 inches deep.
Here is the Barber,tomorrow I will get a picture of the insulator and the bottle.
Happy hunting to everyone.

I like that. How long did you leave it in the electrolysis?
How many amps did you use to do it with? The reason I am asking is that I am going to make one for my stuff.
