<p>[QUOTE="usmc60, post: 2525617, member: 76739"]All I know is from my practical experience. There is all kinds of corrosion. I know you've all been driving and seen that unpainted piece of steel pole alongside the road. And you've notice that red coloration look. That is commonly known as surface rust. Or surface corrosion. I will show you a coin here that when I received it. You basically could not tell it was a coin. It had over 100 years of dirt and debris encrusted on it. The only thing that indicated it was a coin was the circular dimensions. The rest looked like something a kid would make in a mudhole. I only wish I would've taken photos of the coin prior. And you know the saying curiosity killed the cat. Just like my pet rattlesnake that the cat wasn't supposed to play with but curiosity got him killed. At first I tried a warm soapy soak for a couple of days with no result. Let me say this is what resulted after I got finished. Now you can tell it's a coin and even the date. [ATTACH=full]539043[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]539044[/ATTACH] The bottom line there's all kinds of corrosion in stages. I also noticed what you noticed on the olive leaf. In my opinion that can occur when the surface corrosion comes off. Key word there is surface. Enjoy these photos<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie24" alt=":blackalien:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
