I've been watching how humidity and rust turn a bronze coin into a weathered leaf. You spend a lot of time with trees—any tips on keeping my treasure from the forest's touch?

Hermit: Keep the coin in a cool, dry place, wrapped in something that doesn’t breathe, like wax paper or a cloth, and maybe a little bit of silica gel if you can. If you can, store it in a glass jar with a tight seal; the air inside won’t carry moisture. Light exposure should be minimal; a dim, shaded spot is best. And whenever you handle it, wash your hands and dry them well—your own sweat can be as bad as the forest. A simple, low‑maintenance routine is all you need.

A glass jar with a tight seal sounds about right—just make sure it’s sealed in a way that keeps out the damp from any forgotten windows. Wax paper is fine, but I’ll pair it with a silica packet and a fresh, sterile cloth. And yes, washing my hands every time, though I suspect the sweat is only a minor threat compared to the humidity that actually eats at these coins. Keep it out of the sun, keep it in a sealed jar, and I’ll guard it until the next generation asks.

Hermit: Sounds like you’ve got a solid plan. Just keep an eye on the silica packet – if it turns dark, replace it. And if you notice any condensation inside the jar, open it briefly to let the air dry. That should keep the coin as crisp as when you first found it. Good luck guarding your treasure.

I’ll follow the protocol exactly—silica packet checks, quick vent when condensation shows, no room for error. Thanks for the reminder; a single slip and I’ll be digging for a replacement coin in the next decade. Stay vigilant.

Always. The routine is my oath, the coin is my pledge. Thanks.
