Had a great time detecting on Saturday at my Colonial spot with DD-777 (Andy) and NCJoe (aka Joe). Lot's of relics and lot's of laughs. 
Andy dug a beautiful 1891 Seated quarter! See his post. Here is a short video, but not the actual dig:

Joe dug a signal in one spot and uncovered a large old bottle dump. His target was a neat tiny flask looking thing with a tiny glass vial inside. Perfume or medicine container? I will post his bottles once I get them cleaned up, but here is a video:

As far as my digs, I may have dug an old copper coin, that I was told could be a Farthing. Unfortunately, I can't make out anything on it even after numerous cleaning methods (thanks Don). The coin is copper, 23mm, and thinner than a dime. I dug it behind the 1790's house. Oh well, I tried.
My finds for the day were:
*Possible Farthing (?)
*Rusty farm relics from days gone by. Looks like a few vintage hoes too.
*Joe dug a beautiful oval brooch that looks to be Victorian era possibly. He was nice enough to donate it to the shadowbox I will be putting together for the property owners. Thanks Joe.
*Asst'd brass items
*An arm piece from a scale. The 1790's house was used as a trading post, so perhaps this was used there?
*Pottery shards. Blue ones donated by Andy.
*A heavy brass heart shaped piece.
Any ideas what this could have been?
*Toy cars from the 1970's.
Quite a variety of goodies.
Thanks for looking & HH,
MM
