Thanks Dave. Yeah, the pendant is definitely 20th century as I noted. The back has more modern script and was found near the '48 quarter so probably from a similar time period.
Thanks David.
Much thanks Al. Still learning on when to push on with cleaning and when to stop with these coppers in different states of corrosion. I'm learning now that sometimes it's best to leave them alone after a simple first wipe with a cloth and leave some dirt on there.
Thanks Jeff.
Thanks man. You know, that fork is frickin' completely dangerous! The tines are so ridiculously sharp I can't see how anyone could eat with it. I poked myself twice while straightening it, one time drawing a small drop of blood on my thumb. Note to self - check medical records on date of last tetanus shot.
Thanks Drew! These finds were from 3 different fields. You know, the thimble probably can be straightened but some simple methods tried here at home didn't prove successful. Have you ever tried to straighten one of these out?
Vermont relic hunting, one swing at a time.
