More Artifacts


After separating and cleaning some artifacts they were photographed and recorded.

This photo shows an 1898 coin and a silver ring with what is thought to be an Amethyst stone.












This toy gun was also found. We decided against cleaning because the halves of the gun were separating and we were afraid it would fall apart if we removed all the rust.










Numerous buttons were also discovered.
















This is the "Pro-Marksman Junior Division National Rifle Association" medal that was found.
















Many coins were also uncovered and after checking the dates, the 1898 coin in the first photo was the oldest.










We found four Southern Crosses that were used to mark the graves of the Confederate soldiers in the cemetery.

I am working on cleaning up the heart shaped lock through an electrolosis process and should have it done soon.
