It won't matter if it's loaded or not, my advice, soak it in apple cider vinegar, with electrolysis you run the risk of losing parts like the trigger and guard.

when you are done cleaning it, you should boil it in wax to remove all traces of moisture and leave a sealed surface that will prevent further degrading.

based on it's shape, it looks like a smith and wesson .38, maybe manufactured in the 1930's

when you do those finds you need to file every detail, where it was pointing to, and escat location, it might take you to a big treasure. might be a sign to next spot.
