Two glavanised watering cans and a rusty galvanised bucket used to collect ashes from a coal fire. Shows the effect of acid water on metal.


Two vintage glavanised watering cans and a rusty galvanised bucket. Shows the effect of acid water on metal. The bucket was used to collect hot fire ashes. Rainwater has washed out the acid from the ashes and rusted the bucket prematurely. Shows the difference in quality and lasting quality of old heavy duty watering cans (only used for water) and a modern, cheaper bucket.
