I started hunting a pre civil war house site tonight for an hour or so the owner of the farm during the civil war was a circuit riding methodist preacher who had slaves and was friends with soldiers on both sides a few cw finds would be a nice



bonus but what ever relics i find will be awsome if they could only tell stories..........here is what i found tonight the bottle the broke stove burner and the pump spout were on top of the ground didnt have to dig the eye bolt looking thing the tin sheets and the large oval piece i think is a door from a coal stove , what are some thoughts how should i clean this as not to make it worse than it is

Electrolysis.

I agree with PA Plateau Hiker. Electrolysis will clean it up fairly nicely. Gets rid of a lot of the rust and bot hurt it like some other cleaning methods like a wire brush for example. Nice finds.
