Hmmm yes now you mention it I was on the farm recently and was looking at
farm equipment for rust reference ideas.
There was some welded machinery sitting behind the barn rusting pretty bad
in places but I do remember the welds being "silver" shiny!
Darn I wish I woulda had my digital camera then for reference.
