Pro tip: I used to just brush dirt off finds with my hand at our local dig site. Switched to a soft paintbrush and a small spray bottle of water, and the detail that came out was insane.

Found a piece of pottery last month that looked plain until I gently cleaned it. You could suddenly see the whole painted rim pattern. What's your go-to gentle cleaning method for fragile stuff?

Ever try a makeup brush for super fine detail?

Try a soft toothbrush with distilled water. It gets into tiny cracks without leaving mineral spots.

It's funny how the best fixes are often the simplest ones, just using the right basic tool for the job.
