Thought to throw this in Borax at Bunnings about $8 bucks a kilo.Hi spent the weekend in Sofala With Kleggy from Aussie Detectorist found this lock around 6" down. Just wanting the best way to clean it up, thanks
Borax is a good old-fashioned relatively safe ant killer: they eat it, it reacts with the acid in their gut and kills them. Other ants that eat the dead ones also die.Did the ant killing paste work?
I think you just use water.Do you mix it with anything? Sugar, honey etc?
Depending on the type of ants.Do you mix it with anything? Sugar, honey etc?
My first time ever detecting. I bought a Whites GMT DD E series and had a great time with my wife and friends. we also found bullets, casings, nails, and a horseshoe. Spent a few dollars in the town which it really needs.Thought to throw this in Borax at Bunnings about $8 bucks a kilo.
I was disloving some in a pot to make ant killer paste as soon as it hit boiling water it totally cleaned the stainless steel to a shine.
Pot is 12 months in use since but you can see the cleaned area.
Just a thought if you heated the lock up in the oven then dropped in a pot of borax/water mix it could work.
If you think the Find is Valuable then better advice i would seek.
Good one on the find Dusttodust all bought home from there was boot tacks, horse shoes & musket balls that i stupidly threw out.
