I got into a yard today and found a couple of keepers...a nice GAR button, a small Navy button (I’ve never seen one square shaped before, maybe someone can help me with that) also, another old button that I’m not sure if it’s an eagle or a Phoenix or what. A pretty decent 1867 IH with what looks like the faded N on the reverse. The 1881 IH and silver ring I found on a previous hunt. Anyway, thanks for looking y’all and HH, Griff.

Nice finds! Still using your explorer se?
 

Those are some great finds in really nice shape. You might get this a lot, but what is your cleaning and preserving secret? My buttons and IH cents never look that nice. Congrats!

Well it’s mostly the soil here in Michigan. The coppers fair very well. I usually give them a bath in hot peroxide and then scrub them with an old worn out chore boy. Then a little olive oil. Thank you!
 

very nice Indians, that soil was kind.
 

Very Nice!!! Congrats!!!
 

Beautiful Indians. I have to go to the coin shop to find them that nice. Gary
 

looks like a great day with some cool finds
 

Very nice finds. Those Indians are in great shape.
 

my adjusting wheel to my oil lamps, never turn out that good, since most are iron.
Wow , you really scored Big Time...! :icon_thumright:
 

Killer hunt, congrats! :occasion14:
