  Hi Ed,
 
  I've treated all my metallic meteorites with "Rig". It is a rust preventative used for guns. Of all the meteorites treated with "Rig", none have shown any evidence for rust. I've had them for about 4 years....not a speck of rust. I have one Campo that was pretreated by the seller with some sort of dark colored supposed protectant, and it has slowly started to rust away. I figure that Campo will be almost completely rusted in another 5 years. I wish the seller had just left it alone, and I would have treated it with "Rig", and it would not have had any rust on it.
  One problem with "Rig". I don't think it's manufactured anymore. Too bad....the stuff REALLY prevents rust, and you can't even tell it's on the meteorite. You just apply a thin coat (it's a type of grease, but disappears when applied). The meteorites are not oily at all after treatment. Once I run out of the stuff, then I'm in the same boat as everyone else.
 
  Regards,
 
  Greg Lindh
