3 Georges and a Bee Button

[cannonball]

So, yesterday I decided that I needed to dig up so new sites. I left my comfort zone and did a recon. Don't ask me how but I wandered into a virgin site. There was no trash at all. I couldn't get a single flip top, shot gun shell or bottle cap. The only negative was the ground was a little hard and damp. (I love my sugar sand!) The coins were about 2"-3" deep. One George has the classic X carved into his head. The 3 legged skillet will get restored. The most modern button was the flower button with a W.H. Jones & Co. back mark. The site must have ended by the 1830's.

Very nice. I was stuck a bit on the center coin, but see now that it is a 1799 version.

Now those are some real old finds right there.
That thimble is sweet find.

What's the process for restoring a skillet that's missing pieces?
