My latest finds including a Draped Bust cent and sling buckle

[Scrappy]

This must be the year of the draped bust for me, since this one must be at least #8 in 2016. Below are hunts from the last two days. Yesterday was a new site and I got about 45 minutes in, scoring a c.1870-1890 padlock, a strap buckle, and a flat button. Also, two modern bottles I thought were cool...

Today's hunt was also another new site and the only targets I snagged in the hour I had was the 1803 Draped Bust Largie, and the silver rings. The Large cent rang in wonderfully at 5"



A little bonus "coin porn" of that 213 year old dirty girl!

Good digs and enjoy

I like the lock with the cut away look. You can display it both ways and who knows, maybe the front will show.... up along with your next 1803 DB.

Awesome finds Steve. Ive had my electrolysis tank running for 5 weeks straight now and last week I went to my dad's house to get my big box of locks to throw in the tank and I can't find them!! I'm so pissed because they are some of my favorite finds. Yours will look super cool cleaned up with the mechanics showing

You fellas are speaking my language! I've been working on cleaning it up for display all day. I can't get out hunting this weekend so I have time...

Cheers

Thanks for looking Sut. That's it for a little while - This weekend I couldn't get out and next week doesn't look good either.

Thx DD - I've been cleaning the lock all weekend. Can't decide on the patina, but I'm thinking a cleaned up dark one. Just enough to tell its a brass case but no more.
