Spayed up all night and went to shell swamp.

[Truth]

Got out there at 7:00 and swung 3 hours in the shells and got a Burnside cartridge. So on the hour drive home I had a idea. This 1800’s park is along side a old river that brought oxen, liquor etc to my town. Well every time it floods it washes up river sand throughout the whole park. So I used Calabash’s relic program, beach mode 2, using the 15” coil on speed recovery 4 for the first time. I new anything would be extremely deep. In the first 30 minutes I found these 2 buttons a foot or more down....I was shocked!! Any advice to get this black crud off of the gold gilt button? On the front of the found buttons is the image of a 3-legged eagle surrounded around the rim with the words "ES DEVS SPES NOSTRA". Research reveals the origin is Latin and means, "GOD IS OUR HOPE". The buttons may be a reproduction / remake of buttons worn by Hessian soldiers during the Revolutionary War."

This one was 14” I still haven’t cleaned it yet. Any help is appreciated

Update Update!! Hessians /ˈhɛʃən/[1] were the 18th century German auxiliaries contracted for military service by the British government, which found it easier to borrow money to pay for their service than to recruit its own soldiers.[2] They took their name from the German state of Hesse-Kassel. The British hired Hessian troops for combat duty in several eighteenth century conflicts, but they are most widely associated with combat operations in the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783).

Update Update: if anyone can get me more information please please educate me. Johnson & Tingly were in business in 1829
