Iron and steel artifacts are much less sought-after than brass and other metals, because they readily corrode in saltwater, and are difficult to clean and preserve after recovery. Exposure to air tremendously accelerates the corrosive process, and without proper conservation, a nice iron or steel artifact will become an ugly lump of rust within weeks of removal from the water.
