Picture frame cache from the orchard!!

[VERMONTPACKRAT]

What an awsome day I went to the orchard once again today.........

After finding the Belt Plate yesterday I was really slowing down in the same area today. The usual kinda stuff, crap, junk, garbage, etc. I knew that one more neat find was waiting. It was ! Really trashy signal but diggable. I am also trying to remove some of the trash to see what is under it.

I will let the pictures tell the story. For once I had my camera with me. No one would have believed me OH, My first Barber Quarter, 1912 and an old brooch.

You know, A couple of years back, Don in SJ dug a old photo and it was NOT visible but he was able to clean it with certain chemicals and the image was restored! You MIGHT be able to do the same with the photo above. Check out the link below and see the magic performed on that photo!!

I think that this is a different type of picture. I am not sure that it would work on this one.

Can anyone educate me on the types of old photos? What type is this one?

If it is a tintype or daguerrotype, then it is a photo on a metal plate rather than paper. If yours is one of these, you may have some luck. I have a friend here in KY that dug a daguerrotype of a woman in 1860s-era clothing. Years ago when he dug it, he had no idea how to clean it. But her image is still there.

You might wish to consider removing the back of the frame (carefully) to see what type of photograph is inside.

The round frame is a paper picture. The frame is drying and I can see a little better now. The image will never be any better...... Dont really matter, this is one of the coolest things that I have ever dug!

Very cool digging up something that has an image, or written items.
