Found this on Thursday in Richmond, VA. Pics are before and after electrolysis. Not bad for almost 200 years old.

Nice Eagle, what is back mark, plus it would be closer to 150 years, fifty years in the ground makes a difference. Post some more relics if you have them.

This 1 is for you, joe. My best find so far this year. Barely nicked with the shovel. [emoji51]
