The previous owner left these half buried under a spreading cedar tree
in the back yard. Boy are these HEAVY - cast iron probably (magnetic),
and my guess is they weigh at least 50 pounds each. I'm going to
clean off the slap-dash paint job and try a real rust neutralizer
primer then (perhaps) a dark bronze paint. Wondering where I'm going
to put them - and what to grow. (Grinning). This is a bit of a 'junk'
switch for me - I'm more into electronic stuff - but these were crying
out for rescue. Where ever they originally came from they must have
cost a fortune. They are too 'neat' to leave lying half buried.
Any ideas from a pro?

OK ladies...I got this message from my
Canadian friend Rusty yesterday and he was wondering,
what ta do, what ta do...
Can you believe what a find,
everyone dreams of finding buried treasure,
but Rusty found the mother lode!!!
OK girls, what do you think he should do with them,
now remember, he's a guy and isn't really up
on this stuff, so be gentle with him...
I would personally drool all over this finish,
but would probably suggest he put some sort of clear sealer
to retain the finish and leave as is,
however, it is what it is, not everyone
is in our frame of mind and any of the finishes,
bronze, white or black will do...
so have fun Rusty...and go check out his blog, he has
the most amazing wildlife portraits from his
yard/sanctuary...
OK Rusty, can you see my many shades of green envy?!!!
PS...is it a coincidence that we call him Rusty...
just sayin'...ha!
