Hi all, Apologies for cross posting. We've (School of RSM) just come into possession of an old admiralty anchor that's being donated to our new marine studies centre in Coffs Harbour. The anchor has apparently been placed in fresh water since it's recovery but no preservation work has been carried out. Can anyone offer any tips on preserving metal objects or point me in the direction of appropriate references? A consultant may be employed to restor the anchor but doing it inhouse would be preferable. If nothing else it'd be an interesting exercise for me to learn a little about preservation techniques, I'm always finding interesting stuff around local wrecks but (apart from mapping where artifacts are located) I generally prefer to leave anchors and other artifacts where they lie. Any help appreciated. Cheers, Simon Simon L Hartley RSM Website Coordinator\First Year Course Coordinator Associate Lecturer School of Resource Science and Management Southern Cross University P.O.
