last weekend cellar holes.Rev war musket sling buckle*coppers & some great buttons

hit a few sites last weekend.a nice braided hair petite head LC, 1785 CT copper which took me hours to clean.a rev war musket sling buckle and a couple beautiful buttons including a 1830's naval staff cuff button with a Kendricks back mark.
Been using my new MXT All-Pro and really falling in love with this machine.never thought another machine could replace my XLT but sadly this may do it!

Great Finds. Love the buttons, coins, and deer skull.

What method and how do you clean those old coppers? I've got a couple large cents and old indianheads in Michigan...just wondering what method you used. They look great.

thanks everyone for the kind comments! i soak my coppers in cold peroxide for a day.dip a Q-tip in cold peroxide and work on em.the CT had stubborn verdigris on it and i had to use a metal pick and surgically pick at it for hours.taking breaks and back into the cold peroxide between sessions.was tedious but,it paid off

Wow, What a great assortment of finds you have there. It always a treat to get to see some neat old stuff. We don't have any of that out here in West Texas.
