please take care of your health, that white stuff is a deadly poison, don't lick your fingers after handling the lead. a light oil sounds like a reasonable idea, but if you can "google" the "U.K.D.N." (a uk detecting site) and ask on there as there are many lead objects dug up from antiquiry that need preservation, i feel sure they will tell you. i will try to ask the next time i log on to them. remember that "white stuff" is poison. mike.
