I got out for a few hours today and managed to find a few things. I didn't dig as much as I usually do in this spot. I got 2 sharps carbine bullets and the buttons pictured below. I was surprised they came out as nice as they did. Usually buttons dug in this spot are in really rough shape. I stopped cleaning on the I as detail started coming off with the green.

Nice buttons, especially the smaller one. :thumbsup: How did you clean them? Breezie
 

Thanks Breezie. I put them in a 50/50 mix of water and lemon juice and got the worst of the crud off and the gilted ones I finished cleaning with aluminum jelly.

I thought you were talking about your trip to the grocery store before the snow storm! ;D

Nice buttons. You're right about the condition. They usually don't look that good from the ground around here.

I had a better chance of finding those buttons that I did of finding anything I needed at the grocery store. :laughing7:
 

Great buttons! Maybe I could come dig some of those and you could dig some of these weird bullets over here. :laughing9:
Congrats, peanut

Great job on the buttons and the preservation VY. :icon_thumleft:
You should bottle that liquid and sell it as "Button Magic - Relic restorer". Just a thought. :wink: ;D
Congrats,

Geeze, Lar! :o You got three to my one! :P :D I need to change locations! Hope your snow doesn't last long tho. With sites like those, you need to be out there cleaning up!! 8)

Fantastic finds!! Nana :)
 

Thanks guys. Looks like the only digging I'll be digging is out of my drive way. We got between 20 inches and 2 feet of snow. Peanut I would trade 100 of those buttons for one of your bullets
Nana, the same on your button.
