Well done, well done
My best melting pot is a propane cylinder
cut off just above the centerline

I've never melted corroded shot but I have melted a lot of corroded or oxidized lead. I just put it in a cold pot, get it melted, stir it some, flux it and start pouring ingots. I'm careful when handling it and try not to disturb the white looking powder. If your shot has been in water I would for sure start with a cold pot, being concerned about any moisture that might still be there.
