These you can soak in olive oil or distilled water, (You can soak for a year changing the solution and softly cleaning with each change)slowly working the crud off with a toothpick or even a rose thorn. Some folks will go as far as ectrolosis but this can even strip away the patina never mind the rest of the stuff you do want to remove (care required) personaly I like to use a fiberglass pen in different grades Coins can be re patina'd as well there are chemicals on the market that will do it.
