I'M sorry forgot to ask. How do I clean the rust off it? Also is there any one out there from A.Z. that knows of some cool places to go.

If its not copper use Electrolysis, or try an oil soak. (I don't like oil soaks messy and ineffective)

Keep @ it and HH!!

Just don't leave it in too long, and use a soft toothbrush afterwards to get the potato starch and gunk off, rinse with water.
