    Get some Muriatic acid from any hardware store.  Plop the piece in A
    PLASTIC container, and after about a day depending on how much soft
    solder there is, the lead should be gone. Careful of the stones -
    same rules apply as if you were using pickle acid.  No need to heat
    it. You can if you like.  If you want to try to speed things up, put
    the piece in a small PLASTIC container with a tight fitting lid and
    float it in your ultrasonic for a while. That's what works for me.
