Hit the woods surrounding a 1900 mansion. Found a musket ball and an unknown coin about 3 feet from each other. Also found a couple pieces of lead (maybe from when they made the bullets??), an old lightbulb with the glass still intact, some kind of iron piece shaped like a very large staple, and something that reminds me of those things military people pin on their shirts to hold medals. Probably not what it is though. Good, fun day.
Is the coin salvageable? I can’t see anything on it. I used a toothbrush and some baking soda to try cleaning it. Probably not the right thing to do. Trying electrolysis scares me.
Any ideas on any of my finds today?
