It is amazing what electoysis can do. One of my other hobbies is the Civil War and its artifacts.
A few years ago I found a civil war wagon wrench with my metal detector that, to a novice, would have looked like a hunk of iron- since it was so "rough".
I had a guy put it in an electroysis tank for me. It came out nearly looking like new, except for some pitting that was there from the corrosion. I wish I had taken before and after shots, although I do have after.
