Charleston, SC find's this week

A few pictures of some of my finds over the past couple of days. The large one cent coins are 1797 I believe - they are fairly corroded and worn down. If you have some tips on safest way to clean I'd love to learn from your experience.

Nice finds. Congrats.
 

Very nice finds.Charleston is such a beautiful and historically wonderful city.
 

Beautiful glass!

Absolutely! Early stuff for sure. I for one save the early glass pieces (particularly the harder to find colors of cobalt and teal) and polish them in my rock tumblers until they look like molten pieces of sea glass.

Surface finds or you well/privy digging?
 

All your pottery shards look so beautiful laid out like that. That would look great in a display case.
I'd hate to be the one to give you "unsafe" advise there are several ways of cleaning coppers, best advise is practice on newer copper coins that might not be of value to you. There is a "cleaning and preservation" forum to help give you ideas. There are a wide opinion on the safe way of cleaning. You might have to come up with your own way.
 

Nice array of glass and LC's!
 

Awesome if I were you I would go back and dig all that glass that spot has some real age to it.

I like all the Blue and White Pottery-goldnugget--
 

Surface finds and a bit of digging in late 1700's to mid 1800's trash dump.
 

It sure does - It seems to produce each time I go out. I should probably keep all of the broken glass I find and just fill a jar.
 

Dang that looks like the same kind of glass my brother keeps finding.
