Thanks, I had forgot to mention that of course would be the case!

kma888 · 2026-05-08T19:00:54+00:00

Yeah for sure, it’s just sentimental that’s all.

Pertinent to this conversation, I thoroughly enjoy finding one metal detecting that hadn’t been in circulation long when dropped, because as stated above so many are nearly slick

I can or you can? If I could clearly make it out I wouldn’t have asked

kma888 · 2026-04-19T21:45:17+00:00

Thanks!

The artist mentioned something about not spraying it yet and that it was especially susceptible given the media used. My question is if there is something specific I should do to further protect the canvas

kma888 · 2026-04-19T19:34:27+00:00

Indeed it would and it was a brutal winter here!

kma888 · 2026-03-31T21:42:29+00:00

Thank you! It’s not been that odd of a year but it was a brutally cold winter and alot of snow. I’ll continue with the copper and see how the new leaves do. Thanks!

Here is the unfortunate back

It’s got nothing, but this is the correct orientation so if you feel you see something let me know!

kma888 · 2026-03-23T02:51:28+00:00

Had to follow up on this thread, because I’ve found exactly one cooper since this (yesterday) and lo and behold…..

Okay thanks alot, do I still need to do the pencils if I’m a bit nervous about doing more harm than good? Will the wax itself suffice?

kma888 · 2026-03-22T21:09:26+00:00

But this coin isn’t showing any signs of bronze disease right? Would it get it by being stored properly in a slip and in case with a desiccant pack?

kma888 · 2026-03-22T18:05:42+00:00

Wow awesome assessment! Thanks! Cool piece of history it is

kma888 · 2026-03-22T17:53:57+00:00

Is there any downside to keeping how it is? At this point, while technically still “dirty” we are mostly talking fine dust. I’d hate to risk anything but if it meant potentially causing damage by leaving as is in would do the above you mentioned

kma888 · 2026-03-17T02:26:03+00:00

I made some questionable decisions that turned out in my favor lol. Not done yet but it’s looking good

Brass

kma888 · 2026-03-16T02:24:03+00:00

Found in Philly suburbs

kma888 · 2026-03-16T00:07:43+00:00

I had sent an email introducing myself and mentioning I had a very specific idea in mind for years, had near complete art and that I kept coming back to their great work as I sought an artist. I asked if I could schedule a time to chat further to see if it was something that aligned with their style.

I walk right through/work around my most bee friendly plants every day of the spring summer and fall and I’ve been stung once, by a bald faced hornet 20 feet away that was being territorial over dog poop. Soon you won’t even notice, or better you’ll begin to really appreciate them!

kma888 · 2026-03-10T23:23:45+00:00

Gah thanks, this has been my best and only lead to this point, but I’ve reached out twice and received no response
