Here's a few from down near Charlo.

As you can see, the cap has cracked off the stem on this one.

threw some brasso on it last night.- Needs alot more elbow grease.

We've already discussed these with our state NGS advisor, but we still need to finalize our recovery notes and put info on the NGS datasheet recovery website.

Looks like you've got a bit of subsidence going on near the first one.

Doesn't look very sturdy. In Kansas ours are large concrete blocks all but the top few inches buried (at least the ones I've recovered in my 2 years here). Some are even buried a couple feet down. Making them often reported not found. They still get damaged, lost, and destroyed. lol

Put some ketchup on that disk. The safest and best way to clean oxidized brass. Seriously!

That also works on silverware too.
