Out in the Frost This AM

[OxShoeDrew]

Went back to the site where I found a 1724 Hibernia. The frost looked and felt good.
Do you folks dig many tombacs with gilt on 'em?
It seems that the Blue Star Line was a meat shipping outfit from Edwardian Britain. I guess this is a hat button.
Anyone know about that crotal shaped thing? It is much lighter/thinner than a crotal.
Also, that is the largest bullet of that type I've seen around here. You southerners seem to dig them all the time. Is that a keeper?
Thanks, Drew

no gilt on that button it is a very silvery type with dirt grime on it and it usually makes them look almost gold in color tone Drew. some CLR and a brass brush will cut that grime off quickley

That is a big hunk of lead ! Could that crotal looking thing be a bell from a kid's bike or toy ?
