digging in a new spot today, just a random spot away from where I usually dig, didnt expect to find anything atall, first encountered 100's of ww2 batterys, confused why there are so many in one place:

First looks like it might be a chain harrow, the second some sort of fan with a baffle or filter attached.

The top one looks like shotgun shells etc.

I'm sure it won't be though.

The horseshoe is rusty all the way through. Wire wool or a steel brush may get the surface crap off it. However, the rust will be in the metal and will continue to erode it.

the orange stuff you see isint rust btw, its contaminated with something common in these dumps, its all over a lot of bottles too, dunno what it is and its really brittle, it sticks on glass like crazy and got to scrub hard.

Vitricolous lichens?

You could possibly rescue the horse using a carbon rod as an anode, and do some snazzy electrolysis to it.

Mind you, I'm recommending here that Bratty plays with a bucket of highly alkaline water and a DC power supply. What could go wrong?

Can you define 'wrong'?

RESIST = Resistor?

You turn up some interesting stuff, Bratty. However, given your area of interest, I can't help feeling that one day the planet with get another small crater, and we won't hear from you again. :lol:

I hope you're aware of the obvious dangers.
