Love my Terra

[CRW]

Have been playing around getting to know my new Terra705 lately. Found alot of nails, wire and casings but also came across a few more interesting items too. Any tips on cleaning them up appreciated, have just rinsed them to removed dirt so far.

Can i ask firstly, what it is you wish to end up with? Are you wanting to keep them?, or restore & sell?, or restore & display?

It would be nice to see some pics of the reverse as well...

There are a variety of metals there, and each has it's 'best' way to be cleaned...additional info will help with advice. :Y:

Probably not too worried about doing any major restorations or anything. Just planned on keeping for myself. The pendant (looks like a maltese cross sort of shape to me) is about half a millimeter thin, not 100% sure of metal type but looks goldish under the surface. (I broke one point off taking it out of the hole :/ ) target id was 12. Would be nice to get some of the original colour back...

I'll try to get some more pictures of the others soon.

This pin with the shield has faint white crossed lines, hesitant to wipe it too much incase they come off.

Brooch is pressed copper I'm guessing? Some faint traces of silver paint or plating? Probably not a diamond.

Very crude jewelry back in the day....much like my earring find, some cobbers daughter or wife probably wanted one so he made it for them....
