Cleaning Cone Top Beer Cans

Sorry this isn't bottle related, but I found my first two cone top beer cans while bottle digging. Should I use citric acid, oxylic acid, or another method to clean them? Found in Michigan.

Thank you for the information! I really appreciate it. I don't plan on selling it. Any idea on age? The top looks tooled, but I can't tell if it is a crown or a blob top due to the very top of the lip being broken off.

The top of the lip is chipped off, but this seems like a keeper. I can't find any info on it. I dug this up yesterday. Thanks!

349 Buttons In A Hole

I found all these buttons in a 2 foot X 2 foot hole, along with some suspender clips. The buttons are made of porcelain, wood, shell, and copper/tin. Does anyone have any info on the age of the buttons? There are some flat buttons, there were 2 patent 1855 suspender clips, and there were square...

Yes, the spot was from the late 1890's where I found it, and I expect it to be a little older. Thanks!
