Several Tombac Buttons and a Roman Relic Today!

Full Metal Digger

Hi Diggers,
I went out in the woods for about 6 hours today. Signals were sparse but I really enjoyed being out in nature! I found 4 tombac buttons which I think is a record for me. The pewter dandy button is something I haven't seen before. I initially thought it was a tombac but it started crumbling in my hand almost immediately. No coins today but I did find a very nice Roman bronze ring, probably for horse tack or a big leather belt. The buckle was a nice surprise too especially since it rang up just like all the bullet casings I was finding! Here's some pics. Thanks for looking and happy digging!

Lots of neat pieces of history there, Dave! You gotta love that green patina on the Roman bronze ring and the bronze buckle. As always, you did an amazing job of cleaning and preserving everything.

:congrats:
