Nice TY!!



Caltrops serve to slow down the advance of horses, war elephants, and human troops. They were said to be particularly effective against the soft feet of camels.[3] In more modern times, caltrops are used against wheeled vehicles with pneumatic tires...

I did spray a light coatin of matte sealer after electrolysis, but that didn't change the
look. That is how it looked after drying it off.
