Yesterday, I went out for an hour with awdw. The mosquitos were unbearable, and that's saying something, because we're used them being pretty intense. Anyway, I was excited to find a knee buckle (I think), with a clump of rust in the middle.

I didn't take a photo before I started cleaning. The first pic is after my first pass with a toothpick. After that, I went at it with a combination of approaches and took it as far as I am comfortable going.

The cool thing is that it is complete - a first for me, and probably a rare find in the harsh environment of the SC Lowcountry.

Thanks for looking. IMG_9478.jpg
