[QUOTE="SeptimusT, post: 3006053, member: 91240"]If they are somewhat recognizable, they make excellent gifts to children or to people who aren't otherwise collectors. As far as cleaning goes, good advice. Start as gently as possible, and get progressively rougher. Sometimes you might have to get downright brutal with the worst of them, but usually there isn't going to be much good underneath those. I would add that applying either Elmer's Glue or hot glue and then pulling it off can be effective at removing hard mineral deposits that don't respond to any other cleaning, but that should also fall into the last resort category.[/QUOTE]
