As metal detectorists, we all know the thrill of uncovering a rare coin, ancient relic, or historical artifacts. The joy of discovery, however, comes with the responsibility of preservation. How do we ensure that these precious finds remain in pristine condition for years to come? Enter ArteSeal—a game-changer in artifact preservation and protection.
What is ArteSeal?
ArteSeal contains a preservation product trusted by the British Museum intended to safeguard your valuable treasures and artifacts from the elements. Whether you've uncovered a delicate medieval coin or an ancient relic, ArteSeal acts as an invisible hermetic shield, protecting your items from moisture, dust, oxidation, and other environmental factors that can lead to deterioration.
The beauty of ArteSeal lies in its versatility. It's easy to apply, and it creates a clear, non-yellowing coating that doesn't harm your finds. It is also available in various percentages that provide different finishes so you can choose whether you want a flat finish, or even a nice soft gloss finish to enhance your item for display. Whether you're storing your artifacts or displaying them, ArteSeal offers peace of mind knowing that they are well-protected.
Why is Preservation So Important?
For metal detectorists and collectors alike, the value of a find isn't just in the moment of discovery—it's in the history that object represents. Preserving these pieces is critical to maintaining their historical and monetary value. Unfortunately, many items found in the ground are vulnerable to environmental damage like corrosion, rust, and oxidation.
Coins, for example, are often made of metals like silver, bronze, or copper, which can degrade quickly when exposed to air and moisture after being unearthed. Without proper preservation, these once-beautiful finds can lose their detail and original patina. ArteSeal provides a solution by forming an airtight barrier that halts this process and protects the surface from further degradation, including handling.
How Does ArteSeal Work?
Using ArteSeal couldn’t be simpler. After cleaning your find, a quick application of the product using a brush is all it takes to create a lasting layer of protection. This protective
seal enhances the appearance of the item and simply preserves it as you found it. The result of the coating process is a durable shield that safeguards against future deterioration.
ArteSeal is perfect for:
Coins: Prevents tarnishing, patina loss and corrosion.
Metal Relics: Protects against rust, oxidization, and environmental wear.
Jewellery: Shields from moisture and oxidization while maintaining the original patina.
Glass and Ceramics: Offers a protective coating against dust and micro abrasions.
