    I always use a tooth brush to clean my finds. Did you add tooth paste to the process?
    Most interesting find in some time. Congrats!

    You know, it might not be a bad idea to floss.

    Well at least you now have two pairs when you reach the age you need dentures which ain't that far away. jk.

    Nice partial buckle too. Surprised no one has yet asked age of dentures on AD.

    Now there's a hunt you can really sink your teeth into.

    What the heck! Bet you were expecting the skull next. There is silver on them right? That's one weird hunt.

    Dave if we had a "strangest find of the month" it would certainly be the front runner , i so hope Todd shot some video of that dig. A find like this could give you nightmares for a while .

    WOW! That is really weird, that they were there and I never hit them, but that's ok. Don't think I would have kept them.

    That was the site close to where we got the copper pipes? It's a disgrace how the logging operation ruined that area. Was so nice before Sandy destroyed the area. Those pine trees had been there for a long time.
