I am no expert, but I would not hit them w a sand blaster. Looks like your "elbow grease" has done a great job.   So if your digging partner enjoys going w/ you, that sounds like time well spent together. It is hard work at times, thought it is not just about finding that rare old item.                                                                               -Gramp < Message edited by Grampy Green Jeans -- 5/12/2010 1:20:13 PM > (in reply to TJSJHART) Post #: 12

I have found these 2 old foundations, both within 2 miles from where I grew up....the one we really haven't checked out yet has an old privy or cistern of some sort....I can only imagine if I would have found that as a child!! We were bad enough running thru swamps and such but my mom would have killed me if she ever found us playing in a privy.....I just bring that up because I was telling her about it earlier and she got all grossed out....I was like...come on if it is a old privy there shouldn't be any new poo in there!! I can't wait to get back out to our new spot and see what else it has to bring...it really makes you wonder when you find a place like that, where things just fell down,caved in and were just left behind.  I know many farms in this area along with my families went under in the 50's....it's saddening to see them now and wonder what they looked like all those years ago... I sat with my dad the other day looking at pics of the old family dairy farm and it brought tears to my dads eyes looking back at the way things used to be...compared to now the farm has been bought and looks like a dump zone for rednecks..(no offense to rednecks!!) Well enough of my chatterbox stories....thanks for your input. I decide I wouldn't sand blast anything I've found and the buggy pedal looks really nice next to my fireplace anyway!  Amanda _____________________________ Always enjoy nature to the fullest....what more could we want...birds singing and fresh air....AND Lots of neat stuff to always be found...One mans junk may be someone elses treasure :) (in reply to Grampy Green Jeans) Post #: 13

RE: Clean-up progress on buggy pedal and butter churn.... - 5/12/2010 10:16:05 PM    The Bottleman Posts: 80 Joined: 3/24/2010 From: Greenfield Tennesse Status: offline I would have to say no on the sand blaster, but in the little experience I have with cleaning anything that is rusted and pitted (dad is an antique tool collector and cleans old tools all the time) I use a wire brush attached to a motor. I am sure some of you know the set up I am speaking of, usually has a wire brush on one side and a whitrock or polishing brush on the other with a pulley between them with a belt that runs over it and down to the motor which turns them at a pretty high speed. This brush as well as conducting electrolysis on these items (if you have the set up and know how for that) would be the easiest and most efficient way to clean these. As for the little nooks and crannys in the metal, if you have a "Dremel" or some generic brand of it you can get a wire brush attachment for that and use it. Hope this helps,   Falcon "The Bottleman" Belew. (in reply to woodswalker) Post #: 14

As for the electrolysis, if you dont have the set up for it google it, its easy to make with stuff from around the house. For those of you who dont know what electrolysis is it is the reverse of metal plating. In metal plating electric currents plate objects with gold silver platinum etc. In electrolysis the electric currents pull in the opposite direction and pull the excess metal (rust) off and into the water.
