My detector is finding more glass than metal these days! Any recommendations on opening the pocket watch?

I would hit it with electolysis, that should get most of the corrosion or junk off

i would think letting the hinge soak in some oil or every day or so a little wd-40. then work it open and closed a little at a time. just don't be in a rush to get it open

? ? ? ? ? ? I agree, Do this Before You Try Oil . It will Remove alot of The Dirt From the Hinge if it has one. It will also Seperate Any Parts That May Be Fusing Together. then I'd use a Liquid Wrench Type Spray Lube & work it slowly like Bonfire Suggests
