Replying to @CaroleStarr57
@CaroleStarr57 is my Mother and she made this for my 40th birthday. She makes different scenes for whomever. Makes them out of river rock, and assorted other bits of sea glass and such. #metaldetecting #art

This fell out of an old wine crate when I dropped it on the floor. Any ideas what it is? Is this a reproduction? I don't know much about European coins at all. #saturdaynightcoinshow #idme #whatisthis #helpid #antiquecoin

1855-1950s wine. My guess, the crate is from the latter. 1791 is tje token date. I'm stoked! What a cool story

On this day 9 years ago at 0930 in Afghanistan, while on patrol in a village southwest of Pasab, my soldier, Cpl Justin D. Ross was shot and killed by a sniper. Rest in Peace Brother...

Just restored this 1918 Enfield. Hoppys No 9 and some fine steel wool to take off the surface rust then light Remoil coat. Lacquer thinner wipe down on stock to remove grime followed by a coat of linseed oil for protection.

#restoration of #metaldetecting find finished. We have a matching part no. here, -44- appears on both pieces of this H.E. Leman flintlock rifle. More than likely this rifle was either given to the Plains Indians during the #indianwars or given to traders during the fur trade.

The flintlock rifle side plate I found yesterday is begging me to be cleaned... thoughts? I dont want to ruin it but I also wont really enjoy it like this. It looks restorable. Not much deep rust. Method suggestions?

Decided to go with a nylon wire grinding wheel. Already burnt through 2 batteries but I'd say it's coming along well. Looks to be an H.E. Leman (Trade Rifle?) ca 1835. Got some fancy on the end there. I'll polish it up after I know down the rust more.
