My First trip to the school yard

[swifty3565]

Well I made my first trip to the local elementry school this evening. Had a great time, wasn't too much junk. Lots of clips for little girls hair, pencil eraser bands, etc. I did find a pretty neat little toy pistol behind a set of swings, it was a little bit deeper than 8 inches and I'm pretty sure its been there a while. Any suggestions on cleaning it up it is VERY rusty, its about 4 inches overall and the dirt and yuck are coming off. Currently I have it soaking in some water, should I be doing something else for it? I will post some picks of my finds as soon as I put some batteries in the camera.

Hi I found that hydrogen proxide removed alot of the real old dirt and rust put item in a bowl of peroxide when it stops fizzing rinse good with water.
Hope it helps

Thanks for the advice, I will give it a try and see what happens. Hopefully I can get some pics and show you the results.

Sounds like fun at the school yard. I just use soap and water. It is what it is.
