In this video, we will run an electrolysis setup on two different iron relics to preserve them. Each has unique characteristics that require different approaches to achieve relic stabilization and visual satisfaction. I will explain how to do it and give many tips to achieve success if you follow my methods.

As always, this is a how-to metal-detecting outdoor adventure vlog that is family-friendly and hopefully a fun video.

About Aquachigger:
I like to make videos that promote my lifestyle of outdoor adventure, metal detecting, yapping, searching for river treasure, SCUBA diving, exploring abandoned places, hiking, caving, caring for animals and pets, and observing the things outdoors that often go unnoticed. I keep my YouTube "Aquachigger" channel family-friendly and hope you subscribe if you like my style.

I hope to see you guys out there!

I really like your instructional videos , so much knowledge that most detectorists will not share

Fascinating procedure, now when I see these relics in museums, I’ll have a better appreciation for what it took to make them look like that.

Better than a battery charger is just a simple lab power supply. Can set the voltage and the current for all kinds of various conditions.

I used the crap out of my electrolysis tank. Great for cast iron skillets, too! Thanks, Chig!

I've used this method to clean many antique carpenter planes. Never use a wire wheel for obvious reasons..use a grey scotchbrite pad instead. It will remove the rust and not damage the delicate Japaning AKA PAINT.
