Who knows how long they've really been out there. <br /><br />Some of the cast iron only had a bit of surface rust on them, others were in very bad shape with deep pits in the metal and heavy rust spots. I go over how to restore and season both in this video.<br /><br />The skillet that is in such bad shape in the video was one of the older pans of the bunch, it's a #8 Ozark Crescent Foundry Co. - St. Louis Mo Skillet. I can't find much information on it online to date it, so if anyone has more information on this skillet please let me know. It was in very bad shape when I started with it. It had deep pitting that I could see through the heavy rust, but it turned out really nice, and is now my go to pan to cook with! It seems to hold it's season very well.<br /><br />Tools used:<br />Angle Grinder - https://amzn.to/2K6zyUf<br />Dewalt 5 Inch Disc Sander - https://amzn.to/2MbxFIA
