With the rain coming at noon on Saturday I didn't have much time, so I decided to go attempt to work the iron and see if I can scrape up a few keepers.
Ended up with some small brass items I was able to squeak out from the trash.
Unsure about the first item, the second is a really neat drawer knob that I thought might be a button "i love this design", the third is a nail or rivet with a star on the head, the fourth and fifth item is a damaged brass cufflink that I was fortunate enough to find both pieces of, and the sixth item looks like a brass cap.
Also including a couple pics of some silvers I dug at this site last week that I never got around to posting.
A #12 smashed thimble, and a very small and thin unmarked ring that I'm pretty sure is silver.
And finally my first attempt to build a relic sifter/shaker. Pretty excited about using this. Been wanting to build one for a long time now. When it finally started raining yesterday I went to the lumber store and spent the rest of the afternoon in my workshop. Hopefully next week I will get a chance to try sifting.
