Eagle Breast Plate Kind Of Day

[Fullstock]

Literally my first signal and hole of the day this morning. The eagle breast plate was about 10” deep. I only dug one .69 caliber after that, but no complaints, this area needs more attention and I’ll get back here in a day or so.

It cleaned up nice.

What did you do to clean it? I found one a month or two ago and haven't tried to clean it or anything and yours looks great. Renaissance wax?

I rinsed the dirt off with water Hbot37, then put it in ammonia for about 20 minutes and went over it with a toothbrush. When it was dry, I rubbed a tiny bit of Vaseline on it. No wax
