hot couple hours wandering the pines

[johnnyi]

Decided to fight the ticks and mosquitoes for a couple hours and see if I could find any dropped stuff from any of the charcoal lumbering from the old days. One large copper, a thimble in the middle of no where and a bunch of ticks. The copper seems to have a rim so I'll see of it will clean up tonight. Not much here, but good to get out.

I brushed it off. I'll put it in olive oil later, but it is in pretty rough shape. It seems to be a token of soime kind I've seen before but can't identify. Hopefully someone here can.

Nick thank you, that is what it is. It's in horrible shape, that worst case scenerio, when you see a beautiful green patina that once was, turn into the creepy kind of corrosion so bad that the letters look almost like negative images. The soil here at the shore is not kind to copper. Oh well, that moment still feels good when you have a good size piece of copper in your hand covered with dirt. Back to the woods.....
