Went out to an old homesite today and struck out. Came home bummed but decided to try another spot near my house that had just been cleared for a new house. Other relics found on the adjacent lot include: Reconstruction era New York and New Jersey buttons, 1903, 1888, and 1887 IHPs, and a couple of mid-1800s flat buttons.
Popped both pieces out of the hole and they were separate. Put them both in my pocket right away. When I got home to clean them off I realized the wick had survived! How crazy!
This is the remaining piece of the wick.
Also saved another NJ coat!
Enjoy!
