KoRnholio Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Nice piece, the legend is super clear! I had a not bad desert-patina piece once that came in a lot of "uncleaned" ancients. Being a newbie, I cleaned them all (of course) and it turned into a nearly unidentifiable piece of metal! Without the sand it basically had no contrast/details left.
