  • How to use electrolysis to remove rust from metal detecting finds - Do you have a pile of relics that you've found metal detecting? Are they getting rusty? Have you ever wondered how to preserve them? Look no further. I demystify the process of electrolysis. It's easy and if I can do it - you can too !!! Great how-to for the treasure hunter.

    • @DiggingCanuck
      @DiggingCanuck  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hey Mark, I'm using 20 gauge wire from the Dollar Store. I'm told the secret is to have metal to metal, in that you may have to file the rust on the relic to expose a bare metal spot on which to wind the wire :) Thank you very much for stopping by and commenting :)
