This Weekend's Finds from Old Properties in Upstate NY
Victorian-era(?) sash buckle, an unknown buckle, six wheats, a merc, my FIRST EVER buffalo nickel(!) and a really cool bale seal that says 'salt' on it.
Oh yeah, and a toasted Tootsie-Toy.

That ornate buckle is EYE CANDY! I would love to see it meticulously and carefully cleaned up leaving as much of that sweet green patina on it as possible. I just love that kind of relic. Congrats on your first Buffalo nickel. Love them Buffalos. Probably my second favorite coin design behind Indians. A merc, wheats, Military Jeep Tootsie Toy, and another cool brass buckle is a very nice hunt in my book. Shakakka Rocka!
“This Is My Creed I believe first in God, the same God in which my ancestors believed. I believe in Jesus Christ and that he is my saviour. Second, I believe in the Constitution of the Republic of the United States of America, without interpretation, as it was written and meant to work. I have given my sacred oath “to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies foreign and domestic.” I intend to fulfill that oath. Third, I believe in the family unit and, in particular, my family unit. I have sworn that I will give my life, if it is required, in defense of God, the Constitution, or my family. Fourth, I believe that any man without principles that he is ready and willing to die for at any given moment is already dead and is of no use or consequence whatsoever.

Thanks! Here it is after I did some toothpicking last night:
Anything else I can do to it, or is that it? Rub a little Renaissance wax on it and call it done? I don't have much experience with relics, to be honest.

I actually live on Long Island. I was up in Durham, at the Blackthorne Resort. They have a Lost Treasure Hunt weekend there, which is awesome. 60+ detectorists. A few seeded hunts (including one they do in the dark with headlamps!) plus they take you out on some natural hunts too. Most of these finds I got from doorknocking, something that's new to me.
