Went to the quietest beach in the world and it lived up to its name. One "keeper", a 1995 nickel. Feeling bummed, I made my way to the cartwheel hole, hoping to snag another button. I managed 4 buttons, part of a pewter spoon and a musketball. One of the buttons ended up being a sweet New Brunswick Regiment button (late 1700s-1812). I thought I'd give it a 2 minute soak in lemon juice to bring out the gilt, but instead, it darn near wiped all of the detail from it! I have used this method on numerous buttons with positive results. Go figure it would have to ruin my oldest provincial regimental button I had ever dug! Just posting the "field" picture. I don't really want a reminder of its current condition
