Artifact Restoration
Once you remove an object from seawater, the O2 allows oxidation
to occur, which promoted cupric oxide to form (corroded brass).
Your best bet would be to drop it in a muriatic bath to clean off the corrosion.
Then stick it in fresh water and see if you can leech out the rest of the salts.
Let this soak for a long time...
