I used to relic/field hunt....... the obvious question is .... what does one do with all those? I remember buckets of brass filling my garage. Joe..... those were found in the water?

cool

They are great to find. In certain fields in the UK have come across such areas that are just laced with those and buttons. All the best and keep on digging. Thanks for posting!
