PhoenicianX Valued Member United States 138 Posts	Posted 06/19/2014 06:32 am btw my cousin found this during his hunting trips.. He has no idea about cleaning ancients so he tried to dip in lemon juice and baking soda at the time... As soon as he dipped, I frantically pulled it out and cleaned it with a clean cloth.. Im worried that it might change color..any advice please? please help Report this Post to the Staff
pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 06/20/2014 5:22 pm I take it that the green surface is not flakey? If it is, then it needs to be treated for BD. If it is quite stable, then I would not do anything at all. If you are worried about the prior dipping in the lemon juice you could soak it in distilled water for a few days.
