A few buttons before the snow.

[vayank54]

I got out for a few hours today and managed to find a few things. I didn't dig as much as I usually do in this spot. I got 2 sharps carbine bullets and the buttons pictured below. I was surprised they came out as nice as they did. Usually buttons dug in this spot are in really rough shape. I stopped cleaning on the I as detail started coming off with the green.

Nice buttons, especially the smaller one. How did you clean them? Breezie

 

[vayank54]

Thanks Breezie. I put them in a 50/50 mix of water and lemon juice and got the worst of the crud off and the gilted ones I finished cleaning with aluminum jelly.

I thought you were talking about your trip to the grocery store before the snow storm!

Nice buttons. You're right about the condition. They usually don't look that good from the ground around here.

I had a better chance of finding those buttons that I did of finding anything I needed at the grocery store.

Great buttons! Maybe I could come dig some of those and you could dig some of these weird bullets over here.
Congrats, peanut

Great job on the buttons and the preservation VY.
You should bottle that liquid and sell it as "Button Magic - Relic restorer". Just a thought.
Congrats,
MM

Thanks guys. Looks like the only digging I'll be digging is out of my drive way. We got between 20 inches and 2 feet of snow. Peanut I would trade 100 of those buttons for one of your bullets
Nana, the same on your button.
