3 Copper, 7 button kind of day!

[Coilcrazy2]

Hey everyone
I was able to get out for a few hours yesterday at a field that I have done pretty well in before. I decided to give my new sniper coil for my T2 a try. I was limited to only one side of the field because the ground was frozen on the other. The sniper coil really proved it's ability! I came up with 2 really decent looking LC's (1826, 183?), a holed classic head half cent, 7 buttons (2 tombac), and some pieces of pewter spoons. I also came up with this big old iron knife. I'm assuming it probably had a bone or wooden handle. I plan on cleaning it up this afternoon. Thanks for looking!

Heck of a hunt.Just one of those large beauty's would have made my day.Place probably has allot more waiting for you.I see someone else likes to use a wire brush on their iron relics.I am not sure, but I think it might be what they call a corn knife?

Yea a wire wheel really works well for the crusty old iron. I usually tap off the chunky stuff with a hammer first. Thanks!
