metal goes green sometimes cant remember the process, well green not like wild cacti . History is always inspiring and flage is important, was actually looking for some more about California Joe , a particular sharpshooter , though all of them fought bravely and died to reconstruct America.Militaria and restoring metals lustre is polishing. Enjoyed.

Glad you enjoyed the video! The process that causes metal to turn green is called oxidization. California Joe was an interesting guy. Here are some links for you that talk about him: looserounds.com/2018/07/31/truman-head-california-joe-1st-u-s-sharsphooters/ www.loc.gov/resource/cph.3a03606/ The second one is from a Harper Weekly article and is where I got one of the pictures used in the video. Thought about making a video just on him but recently I’ve just been focusing on items in my collection.
