Last week I recovered a lump of coal that was in salt water for almost 90 years. It is currently resting in my toilet tank (much to the dismay of my wife) and will probably stay there for another 6 months to a year so that the salt can dissolve out. Is there anything else I need to do to preserve it? Its about the size of a mini basketball and weighs a couple of pounds. Thanks for your help.
