I had major BD issues with the exact same type too! It was heavily waxed but I could see the BD underneath. Got it for a very good price, striped the wax off, then went at the BD.
Must be something about the copper used for this issue.......

Now that you mention it, I have
had about half-a-dozen or more
of these over the years that have also turned that nasty BD green.
Perhaps it is something in the metal, or perhaps something to do
with where they were lost/found, and the soil conditions.
Who knows!
