Viking Brooch

This is the Viking brooch from yesterday. Think it looks better now. Not bad for a thousand years old.

Rob, did you tried a bit more cleaning on the brooch?

Hello Westfront, the trouble with old lead, is that it's only the dirt that highlights the detail. If you clean to much, you can lose the detail.
