Hi every one .
I Had a swing on the north west today , got one 3.5 g piece with a thin coating of iron stone.
Any ideas on how to clean this little nugget?
Sorry about the photo.

Hi

Alibright give the best results ive seen on iron stained gold. Nice and bright and natural looking at the end. Miguel did a write up on cleaning gold and covered a few acids a while ago too. Its worth a read.

Thanks for the comments fellas.
I found 20ltr drum of hydrocloric acid in the shed and gave him a bath for 24 hours (undiluted)

Worked very well but I need more nuggets to clean
