What the heck is Aluminum Jelly???
Ed
Nice finds! Love that history!
Ed, you might recall Navy Jelly for rust. Think it's a Navy jelly for aluminum.
Fantastic, Brady!!! Must be nice just walking out your front and digging 1800's coins & relics
That button is KILLER
Joe
Love that button!
Did you ever figure out what the point thing is?
Helped me I.D my first mini round ball! At least I think. Looks just like yours! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Ed, "updownup" is correct it's a lot like naval jelly, but this stuff works way better. You can order it online, I can't find it in any store. It works wonders on anything that is gold plated... great for eagle buttons. Can't leave it on long though, usually 30-60 seconds then rinse clean. treat again if necessary. I prefer only one treatment, I don't want my relic to look new.

Still a mystery

If your lead has that white patina, than it's old and is most likely a round ball of some sort. If it's really small, smaller than the one I have here, then it's likely a buck and ball.

Thanks Joe, I feel guilty if I ever complain because I know I am very lucky to have my own private hunting grounds full of colonial goodies. I am truly blessed!
