I performed the nickel test = described on some of the web sites and it came out positive.It is 74cm = long, 15cm thick at its thickest, 45cm at its broadest point. It has = beautyfull but small regmaglyphs on both sides.It has these yellow = crystals and other types of rock mixed into the metal. It is quite badly = rusted in places and I want to know how to best prevent any further = damage and how to perhaps remove most of the rust without inflicting = further damage. It is also an oriented piece with metallic melt = streamers poking out of the broad end so it is basically sculpted. Your advice would be very much appreciated=20 thanks: Gabriel ------=_NextPart_000_0018_01C25F44.DF4103B0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 6.00.2600.0" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#c0c0c0> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Hi </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>This is Gabriel and this is my first = post on this=20 list.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>the reason I'm posting is because I = found this huge=20 remaglyphed piece of Nickel Iron in an open field about </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>30 m from a highway in South = Africa.
