After A Long Winters Nap - Copper!

[The Rebel]

Well it's been a LONG, COLD & DREADFUL WINTER!

Sure felt good to be digging in the dirt again.
Was back at an old site of mine that I can only get to in the fall, winter or very early spring due to all the prickers. Last time I was here I brought my loppers with me to cut some of them down.

Well today I was rewarded with a small button, tough to read but looks like it might say Endicott and an 1817 Cornet LC.

Come on Spring!

Thanks Guys!

I used Renaissance Wax to clean both up after a good soaking in hot soapy water, with a light scrubbing of a toothbrush.

This stuff is the best and beats the old olive oil method.
