New spot today

[Tnmountains]

Hunted down in Chickamauga Ga on some new land. The place is huge and just learning it. I skipped over a lot but hope it will produce some Cw relics.

In the hole



Looks good



Cleaned with aluminum jelly
Horstman Philadelphia
1893-1902 6th Calvary fought in Indian Wars and Teddy's Rough Riders. They trained in this area near Fort Oglethorpe.


Toasted V Nickel no date and very worn


One fired enfield bullet civil war


Some of the junk minus all the horse shoes and ploughs. I only hit certain areas as this place is very large. It is near the city of Chickamauga ,Ga. Hopefully I can narrow it down some but like the variety so far. Owners were very nice and welcomed me back any time.
Thanks for looking!

Looks like a good hunt brother. All I managed was a few flat buttons, a drawer pull, and a reins guide. Love the button. HH

MTS,.THAT BUTTON GOT A HECK OF A SHINE TO IT. ALSO IS THE CUP FOR DRINKING OR MEASURING POWDER NEAT GROUP OF RELICS.

 

[Tnmountains]

Thanks guys.
Tn guns I will hunt flat buttons any day with you
Basqu-man thank you. The coat button was from troops who used the battlefield to train on after the civil war. This was on private land though.
Sutphin aluminum jelly is a miracle on gilt buttons. I think the little cup was a kitchen item. There are four 115 year old houses on this land. I tried to stay away from the houses till another hunt but picked up that and the coin near one.

Richard, you are on to a great spot. That's a killer button. Summer relics in Tenn. are a premium. WTG, Q.

 

[DirtStalker]

Man that button cleaned up great. Amazing all the gilt after all this time

 

[I-DIG-IT]

Real good looking button, wish they all came out of the ground like yours. Clean up nice. Nice digs.

 

[CoinandRelicMan]

That aluminum jelly stuff does look to do miraculous cleaning, guess I need to get some of that for my cleaning arsenal. Just in case I do find a good button someday

 

[WHADIFIND]

Like opening a whole new chapter, ain't it? A brand new, very large place to wander around? Looks like a very nice start too!

Maybe you should try the aluminum jelly on the V-Nickel.

 

[The Aluminum Monster]

Great button! Looks like you are in the right place. Continued success and happy hunting!

 

[Tnmountains]

Thanks guys.
Whadifind .....I actually did on a corner with the jelly it looked copper so soaked in a warm hydrogen peroxide bath. It was well worn and almost smooth all I can see is a vague shape and an out line of the coronet. The date is there but appears it may come off in the next cleaning. I cant read it. Any suggestions are welcomed.

Here is that button after tooth picking and q-tip




Then after using the Aluminum jelly


Thanks for the replies.

That button looks to be near perfect! Very glad you posted, because I am missing the CW era relics from the Trio.

I think the "Trio" go into a deep hibernation in the summer and will start waking up when they hear the hay bailing tractors being parked.Yeah, I miss their videos too.
