Default Wet cellar hole hunt with sniffy*bat wing buckle

Jesse had no work due to the rain and i hadda twist his arm to go play in the water.and that's exactly what we did!
hit one site near a road and i got a large tombac alot of newer trash there and we may return but we were anxious to get up to the old site where he found his capped bust dime,KG, 1827 large cent and my 2 coppers.quite a few buttons today... a smaller tombac,some small flat one piece buttons and a nice small one piece with a cool motiff on it. no Large coppers for me but sniffy got a 1802 draped bust large cent.
i dug my very first bat wing buckle and after a drenched day walking the trail out i got a mercury spill.jess helped me out and he dug a merc and a silver war nickel. then further up trail almost out of the woods i got a large bent cloak button.straightened it out the best i could.
the brush in pic is what i use to clean my buttons.you can see how nice it cleans up a tombac half done to show you.
not a bad wet day and happy to add this buckle to my collection have a great week all!

Holy bat wing buckle, HEAVYMETALNUT, those are nice finds. Plus you went and made me look something up in the dictionary. I didn't know what a tombac was before, and now I do.
