The nice thing about cast iron is, even if you fuck up the pan pretty good, you can always re-season it and it's good to go.
Hell, even a the shittiest, oldest, rustiest cast iron pan is fine. Sand off the rust, and re-season!
It just wasn't the same honestly. There were channels cut into the side after she cleaned it that I always got food stuck in that spot. I would have had to sand it down to get rid of it.

It just shouldn't have a crack in it.
Might even be a bit better after the sanding depending on the amount of post processing done by the manufacturer.
I love watching the yardsale find ones.
I think most of the found in the mud behind the barn ones are staged though, it's pretty easy to make a pan rusty.
