Shell frags cleaned up :smile:

[ihuntrelics!]

Here's two frags I found last week and the nose frag from a parrot shell I found about a month ago. I done some electrolysis and scrubbing with wire brushes to clean them a little.
Thanks for looking and HH!!

just a little more and put something on them to preserve them but wasn't sure what to use on them. Where do you get Bri-Wax and does it make the iron shiny?
Thanks,
Scott

Here is the site where I bought mine,but you can also find it on ebay. I like the Bri-Wax because when you heat the fragments up and apply the wav it gets down it the poors real good.

Scott: Have used Rustoleum Rust Reformer (any hardware store) for a number of years. It will give a chocolaty (sp?) shiny finish that's super durable.

Here is just a couple of my fragments after cleaning and coating. I believe the color of wax I use is ebony,but they also have a dark brown that looks nice,which I plan on trying next when I run out of this,Jonathon.

but also contribute it to swing technique, perseverance, and hunting in hard to hunt areas. I've seen hunting buddies that totally arc their swing and hold the coil like 3 - 4 inches off the ground, kind of haphazardly swinging it around. I like to keep it as low to the ground and level as possible while overlapping my swings. I am able to, and do, go out often, and I'll hunt the thickets, creeks, briers, fence lines, and I hug the trees with the coil...

Have fun & good luck out there this weekend!

Sometimes, you can find enough pieces to put most of a shell back together.
