Found this stuff last night. Thought the copper was slick until electrolysis showed draped bust. The tombacs are pretty cool. Have no idea what the iron is, but looks like it was used a good bit. Looking forward to the weekend, got a big permission from a builder right in the middle of some history. Good luck to all. Art

You've had a hell of a season Art. Best of luck with the new site
 

I really need to start doing my homework again. I've gotten soooo lazy on researching!

Good job!
 

Congrats on your Barber dime - tombacs - draped bust and other finds. Thanks for sharing your pictures and story with us - I wish you many more great while out dirt fishing on the permission that your got from a builder.

Congrats on some more nice finds Art, and good luck at your new permission site. I hope you make some great finds there.
 

I like the octagonal tombac, most likely a large cufflink. The "nipple" style tombac button is a little different.
 

Good stuff...I like the octagonal button
 

Congratualtions on the buttons and old coins!
 

Good hunt. Congrats on the silver and large copper and whatever those other things are!
 

Thank you for sharing those nice finds with us. Very interesting tool piece.
 

Sweet finds and another great permission trapperart. Do you use an old phone charger or a battery charger to do electrolysis on your coins?
 

More nice digs Art. I have an iron piece just like that. Haven't figured out what it is yet. That slot is just too small for a handle to support something that hefty.
 

Really Nice ! Congrats on the Barber and the Draped Bust! I like the buttons also..... Congrats and HH

It's an old battery charger, the kind for hand tools
 

Good luck on the new spot Art!

Very nice finds, congrats. You have been all over it this year!
