My First Time Digging a Beer Can Dump
I just recently got into Beer can collecting. I'm into metal detecting, bottle hunting, insulator hunting already, and so digging beer cans was just a natural fit. I only recently learned about the hobby after finding an old pfeiffer's beer can last week. So with the aid of my metal detecting gear, I decided to go back to where I found the can today. I ended up digging a bunch of old Tudor Beer cans. It was a lot of fun, I'll certainly be doing this again.

Re: My First Time Digging a Beer Can Dump
Now you need some oxalic acid to clean those Tudors. Welcome, Steve

Re: My First Time Digging a Beer Can Dump
Welcome to the site. Congrats on those finds. You should talk to Ted Clark a.k.a. Bantam in here. He lives near Grand Rapids & could show you how to clean those with acid. LEON.
