My moms secret recipe for shining gold,silver,bronze or brass Dab a cloth with ketchup yes I said ketchup (And no it dont have to be Heinz) and start applying it in small circles as if you were shining a pair of boots the acidic properties of the tomato paste will help remove a lot of the overlying tarnish you may have to repeat this a few times just remember that it is slightly acidic so you should allways wash what ever you are polishing with water when you are finished as it will remove the finish.By the way nice finds and awsome pictures. I am kinda partial to the one with the ordance stacked up against the cinder block wall .

Nice relics, theres nothing like finding your own, the first hands to touch them in 90 odd years, if only they could talk!!
Off to the Somme in a couple of weeks again for 5 days of field walking - Lovely
Can anyone reccomend anywhere on the somme off the beaten track thats not so much walked or with any other interesting feature?????
