1838 LC/1885 IH

[civilman1]

Had a rare chance to be able to hunt,especially at the house even.I got up early as usual and just started wandering.First keeper was an 1885 IH.Little bit later I get the Tombac,or what's left of it.I started working the very edge of the gravel driveway and just before you get to the original stone walkway I get this bouncy signal,40's to high 70's.Sounded too good.After about 5-6" of gravel I finally hit soil,2 more inches down there she lay!Found a couple more doo-dad's pictured.Good day in my book......Thanks for looking!!

That's the 1885 IH.A little soap and water then followed up with a hot peroxide bath and a toothpick.
