    Cleaning bronze or brass artifact???

    I know the rule in the coin world (no!) but what about artifacts. I have a badge/medal I expect to be from around mid 1700's (see my other post) it is definitely bronze or brass. Should I clean it or leave it as is? it is mostly clean from calcification, but it is black.

    Thanks

    put the medal in a glass of citric acid,it willtake off the scale and clean it.
    Millions of dollars of Spanish treasure await those who would dare brave the eye of the hurricane.

    Most of the junk I find I run through the dishwasher a few times. This removes alor of gunk.
