Here is my latest endeavor. Here is a 2nd batch of ancinets from Jordan. They have a nice light brown desert patina, but you can't really see that as I had placed them in olive oil over night. I will begin with a light brushing (brass) to remove the heavy sand encrustations then replace them in the oil for a few weeks. After that I will brush them again, repeating the process. As mnay know I've only been cleaning ancients of about a year and have had some spectular results as well as some spectualr failures as well, alas... Thanks for looking Ben
