Cross

. Found this at the beach not sure what kind of metal it?s made of I can see a little brownish color under the crusted up sand on it what would be a safe way to clean it

I would guess a metal vulnerable to salt water

Given it's condition, I don't know that I would attempt to clean it. You could mix Elmer's Glue and water at a 50-50 ratio and coat it using a small paint brush. JMO.

Nice!!! Congrats!!!

 

[Hunk-a-lead]

very cool find

 

[cudamark]

Probably pot metal. You can clean it, but, it will most likely remove the remaining plating and most of the detail.

 

[mjb Mike]

ok thanks

 

[Randy Combs]

That is a way cool find

Being that it is your first cross, I would just bag and tag it. When you gradually get a silver, and then a gold cross,, I would put all three in a small shadow box
Congratulations
