1860s SCHOOL HOUSE,LC, Ring, 1934 dog tag. **VIDEO**

[treasurepirate1]

i did this two weeks ago, I went back to the spot were i got my first two large cents and asked the owners if i could do another round. i first got a 1920 wheat, a minute later a cuff button than 2 minutes later a brass gold plated "i think" childs diamond ring, a while later i dug a 1934 Verulam dog tag (dog#21)( the owners of the property found a 1936 bell shaped one in there garden) than i got my third large cent a 1900 no H the rare variety for that year but it looks like it got a bit squashed maybe by a train. overall one of my best and most productive hunts and can't quite choose my favorite find for the hunt.

Congrats on the great finds today TP!

Love the look of the child's ring and the old dogtag!

I dug a 2010 Rabies Vaccination Tag yesterday, it's almost as nice as your 1934!

Congrats on your 3rd LC.

I think cufflink best find, coins are common as far as finds go, cufflinks, not so much.

I'd head off towards that barn, and see what pops up.

you'll be sad to hear this because i tryed gently prying the button shank back into shape but i forgot that when brass oxidizes it gets very brittle so the small shank peice snapped right off but either than that it is in great shape, that was a bad way to learn not to mess with my finds

Don't beat yourself up over this too much buddy! I think we've all learned this lesson at some point in time with a relic we've recovered and have thought, "how much better something would look if only it was straight!" I my case it's usually, "how much better would this look if it was polished?"

Let me sum this up in three simple words, when it comes to restoration . . . "more is less" or in my case "keep the darn object away from that polished / grinder!" Also, very important, never attempt any restoration of a relic after you've had one too many beers! Words to live by!
