Advice On Conserving / Authenicating Dug Up 1785 Bust Left Connecticut

Huh, I'd run it through the washer in a tied sock. You can come up with better.

I'd guess $50 value and not worth slabbing. The Fugio is probably worth $100-200.

Thanks all for the comments. Not really interested in grade / value, just want to have it protected and in a form that can be presented to the public in the museum. And maybe they could tell more about it than I can.

I know how I would conserve it as a common copper object, but the private museum might not want me to do it personally and can't afford a huge amount to send to archaeology conservation service.

So was thinking maybe NGC or something.
