<p>[QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 3004177, member: 71723"]Not only that, but the seller seems to have found these at about the right depth near a building foundation in the Delaware Valley. It all sounds about right to me. This is exactly where one would expect to find 1790’s federal issue pieces. Again, stuff this corroded is not my bag o’ tricks, but there are no particular “red flags” here. If it’s near or south of Philly, the brackish water would enhance the corrosion. The normal salt line varies quite a bit, but averages around Philly airport on the river. The John Heinz wildlife area, literal walking distance from the airport, is a fresh/salt water estuary area.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
