You just need to let it dry out very slowly, but the remains of the old Iron pins need removing, as they can expand and crack the bone. Amazed it survived that well from a beach, All the decent bone or ivory items I have dug came from inland waterways, or Thames side Building sites

It was deep Down in the black sandy mud stu. It popped out the hole when I was digging a Viccy penny out. Now its drying out and shrinking the bits of concretion's left on is falling off.
