Apr08

Dirt sqeezin's since I've been absent from the forum.

February 08- Forgot to take the pictures before I put things away. Nothing worthy of pics anyhow just the three Bs(buttons bullets and buckles).

March 08- 3 sites, 5 times out, 1 skunk.

Site 1- Private yard in Newburyport Mass.
image

Not sure what this is, but it looks familiar.
image

US large cent dateless 1800 plus or minus a couple years.
image

US small cents 1864 and 1863.
image

Fancy large flat button no shank.
image

China cash coin late 1700s I think.
image

Site 2- Not a private lot so no clues until I hammer it.
image

1862 -64 and 1903. All taking a bath.
image

WIldcard find. IPOD nano 4G. It works. I've already put 250 songs on it. It must have been covered with snow all winter. When I finally charged it, and turned it on, the date was Nov 5 2007.
image

1865
image

Site 3- Ron's
image

Bronze ashtray?
image

Buttons. 2 Military. I believe the middle button is Rev. war era 4th Infantry, but I can't find it in Albert's and have no clue what the SD is. Any ideas?
image

Holy Mary 1836

Some kind of honing stone.

    Those are the sweetest finds yet. I've got to look at them again.
    Yup those were awesome even the second time around. And a great
    bonus find with the ipod.

    Fabulous finds Tim. I especially like the "two center". How did you clean that up so well? I've had a two cent piece sitting in olive oil forever and while it has removed a lot of the verdigris, I fear it will never get there. Very nice '43 large cent too.
