My son and I made it an old foundation. It seemed older than where we usually hunt. I was pretty excited to see the button but dont know much about it. The 1905 Indian and 163 good for 5 cents token were from a few days ago! Let me know if you have more information on the button. Pitt and co Martins Lane. Happy Hunting! 20200512_160610.webp20200512_163129.webp20200512_160637.webp20200512_163011.webp

And CRUSADER did say "5" minutes. I found a WW1 Victory medal awhile back, and put it in lemon juice, I then of course became sidetracked and forgot about it until late in the day. I had a WW1 Victory medal with a very nice shade of ORANGE color to it. 5 minutes...5 minutes...5 minutes......
5 Minutes is plenty, you could start at 2 & keep re-dripping if you want.
 
Thanks again Crusader, I contacted the Barry family through the Mytribe website. It was the best I could figure out. I hope to hear from someone but it will probably end up on eBay. A 5 minutes soak worked great! I used a little extra cation, thanks Spailroad. Sometimes there sure is a fine line when cleaning!! It looks much better!

Yes the risk is that the copper showing throw can go a reddish brown whilst the plating pops (shines up good). But yours looks good as its brought out the nice green patina.
