A few iron relics from yesterday

got them cleaned and treated today, but they have not cured yet, so the chemical that is still wet appears as blue in the photo.

Thanks .. Yes .. That would be the right date range for the house site we were hunting. Dan found a really cool Aeoline reed plate that dates approximately to the 1825 - 1835 time frame.
