Starting to get back in the Colonial groove

[Iron Patch]

Picking bits and pieces off a few sites today and did get a bendy but decent officer button. Circa. 1790s.

This outta shut up the PA Colonial Bros for at least a little while. (Still not Fall yet, so more to come)

Finding a Rev. war button like that down my way would be pretty tough, you did well. I'll bet you can't wait to get back to the spot and see if you can find another one........unbent!. It amazes me how well the gilt holds up when compared to the crusty coppers you always find. A rare find and no doubt it will have a new home in your button display case.

It is about time you quit frequenting your local pub and started to relic hunt. You have become a man, IP!

I was cleaning the dirt off Colonial finds when you two were still taking bubble baths together.

Iron patch, nice finds and great day when you can still fill your pocket with federal antiquities! I don't know if this is too dangerous to try, or even if you'd want to try it, but there is supposedly a way to sometimes restore a bent copper object. Probably if you do try it you'd want to do it on some practice piece of junk. It is a way to anneal through the use of boiling water which a conservator once told me about. You immerse the object in boiling water for a long period of time, an hour or so, and that supposedly anneals enough that the object can be very gradually bent back into shape. You do it in small stages though and never try to do it in one shot. I've never tried it; maybe I will on the first rainy day just to see if it works.
