today it was coppers!

Fantastic Dan and congrats! Man the Matron really cleaned up nicely and a year off the one I found a couple of weeks back to boot. 5 coppers in one hunt must certainly be one of your better days.

That is a sweet site, Dan. The two coppers you cleaned look pretty good. Maybe they were the best ones you found? Idk. Guess I was correct that two were in the same hole together. Drew, how could you pass up the invite? tsk tsk.

a few of them cleaned up well Jim.

a few more before and after pictures of another copper and the nice floral gilted button . the back mark reads R & W Robinson and puts its age somewhere between 1836 to 1848

That button is sweet. The gilt does pop now. Literally it was made at the beginning of the Victorian era. Two piece or single piece? Obvi once 2 piece came around, they didn't make 100% that way. (I know you know this).

The matron looks nice. I can't believe how much of that rim with the inner reeds is still intact on the back of it. And after it looked like those huge crusty spots you find on your hot water pipes or even comparable to the efflorescence on concrete.
