Galvanizing works well.  There is an iron monument in Mt. Moriah 
cemetery in Philly of one Rosa Loiskandel, died 1930.  The cross is very 
competently made - quite beautiful in fact - and galvanized.  There is 
ZERO indication of corrosion, despite having been run into by some 
dimwit in a car.  I did straighten it.
