Hello T net searchers and finders! It’s been awhile since I’ve posted. I haven’t given up hunting I’ve just been busy at a new job that doesn’t really allow much time for marking posts or hanging out TNet.

This stuff is from a hunt that I had for about 30 minutes in Boston between work and getting my son from daycare. I spanned three centuries in that short amount of time. We’ve got a civ war era union cavalry cuff button. This cleaned up incredibly well with some dips in lemon juice and water with some light tooth pick action and soft tooth brushing. By far the nicest button I’ve ever dug. A 1907 V nickel... wasted but I do t find these too often. And part of an 18th century ornate shoe buckle frame! The button made my month and it was like a gift that kept giving again after I cleaned it. I was already stoked but the cleaned result far surpassed any expectations I had of it. Oh the back mark is Waterbury button co. Thanks for looking and I hope everyone is doing well!

Sorry for the sideways picture I thought I had this figured out but wasn’t able to fix it.
 
Nice Cav button, congrats!!
 
That's a keeper of a button. Congratulations!
 
Real nice Cavalry button good job on cleanup.
 
Hold your camera horizontally instead of vertically and problem solved. It's just how the cameras are made. Otherwise you can get some photo software and manipulate the image.
 
I think your problem may be the size of the file. When I saved and opened it the picture was 2.4MB, 4031x3023 pixels. I rotated and cropped it to 2810x2166 pixels then reduced it to 1500x1156 pixels. Here's how it turned out.
