I got mine at the Automotive Store and it is used for Tires. It's called a Deluxe Tire Brush. I just rinse the items under the water and wet the Brass Brush and start scrubbing it, holding onto the item with my Thumb and Index Finger. At first, it seems to be a bit hard on the fingers but the key here is to only scrub the part not in your hand. After a few times of using this technique, then you get use to it and get better at cleaning up the finds. This Brush cost about $3.50. As far as how far I go out, that depends on if I am alone or with a hunting parnter. If alone, I am finding it hard to venture out anywhere past 100 miles due to the Gas Prices. If I am with someone and we split the cost of Gas, then we may go a bit farther than that. If you make it up to South Dakota, PM me when you will be in the area and maybe me and another 1 or 2 guys can do a road trip and split the cost on Gas. Then it would be possible to meet up with you and hit parts of the state we have yet to venture to since it is a long haul. Thanks for letting me know and Good Luck and HH to you if you make it out this weekend.
