I had one that I picked up somewhere that has about an 1/8 inch of rust flaking in the bottom.
I did exactly what Jack said and used a round wire brush in a drill, cleaned it out really well and then I sanded it with medium then fine grit emery paper, Heat and oil, heat and oil.
To keep the cast iron skillets from rusting in the future anytime you cook in them and then clean them, after cleaning, immediately put it back on the stove and heat it until it is dry, pour a teaspoon or two of olive oil in it and wipe it around with a paper towel until the pan is fully coated with a very fine film of oil.
I only use olive oil because vegitable oil and other oils like corn oil always seem to get sticky after they sit for a few days.
