Takes some effort to clean them up nice and restore them without damaging the petina, but you make some cool finds and it's enjoyable for me. Cool that a person, with the help of the internet, can have their own little treasure hut in their own home. A lot of the dealers also deal in Egyptian, Greek, Romam, Persian, etc etc relics. Some really cool shit you can find online these days.
