This is our secret guide to cleaning American Civil War Bullets without losing the patina! These are all bullets that were buried and found using metal detectors by the History Seekers team. It can be hard to find "sudsy ammonia" which is a brand name. It is easily made by mixing the following together. If you make it yourself BE SURE to be in a well-ventilated area!!! NEVER mix ammonia with other chemicals (especially bleach as it creates deadly chlorine gas☠️☠️). This is just how we clean them. If you decide to use this method, you do so at your own risk.

We suggest buying it pre-made. We used the brand name sudsy ammonia but it is also called soapy ammonia. If you want to make it yourself in a well-ventilated area here are the instructions we found on the internet. Use at your own risk (we just buy it).

Directions from Wiki on Soapy Ammonia:
1. Locate pure ammonia solution. It's readily available in supermarkets in the household cleaner sections of larger supermarkets in the US. Otherwise, try hardware shops and places that sell industrial cleaners. You will probably want to buy the smallest possible bottle since you won't need a lot.

2. Use rubber gloves and goggles - ammonia can burn skin and eyes.

3. Be sure to make your mixture in a well-ventilated area.

4. Do NOT lean over the bottles while you are pouring.

5. Organize this task so that you will be pouring over a sink just in case there is any dripping.

6. Use a 12 oz. plastic bottle spray bottle. These are widely available in grocery stores, chain stores, and hardware stores. Basic safety rules say never reuse old commercial cleaner bottles. Old labels or color schemes can be confusing, and new bottles are inexpensive.

7. First Fill the bottle with tap water. Always add ammonia to water, not the other way around

8. Pour out a third of a cup of water from the bottle to make room for the ammonia.

9. With a funnel, pour about a third of a cup of ammonia into the bottle.

10. Add a squirt of dishwashing liquid.

11. Close the bottle tightly.

12. Shake gently.

13. Write "Soapy Ammonia" on the bottle with the indelible marker.

14. Write "Danger: Do not mix with Bleach"

15. Write "POISON" and keep the mixture, and the bottle of ammonia out of children's reach.

16. Write the US Poison Control number 1-800-222-1222 on the bottle.

☠️🛑⚠️Warnings from wiki:⚠️🛑 ☠️

Never mix ammonia with bleach. It will form chlorine gas, which will kill you.

Never mix ammonia with any other product unless it is instructed to do so. You could create poisonous fumes.

Do not use it on a car window with UV protection or tinting - ammonia will remove it. Just use water or a cleaning detergent for car windows.
