Two Cent Piece and Seated Liberty Dime

[comfyinvermont]

Got back to the house next to the copper pit this afternoon. I found a really nice 1864 (large letters) two cent piece and a worn 1886 seated liberty dime. Also found another piece of pewter dolls plate, a gold plated watch chain, a horse harness bridle rosette, a small brass shield, either a piece of jewelry or the smallest handcuffs ever made, a pill box and a very nice spoon. The spoon has the letter M engraved in it, which I would imagine stands for Morrill, the people who owned the house in 1810. On the back of the spoon it says Brazil Silver. Have not seen that one before. The air had the bite of fall today, cloudy, windy and cold. First time I had to detect with a jacket this year. OH NO, say it ain't so. Only two more months before the ground is like a rock....Lance

Wow wow wow I guess I am going to have to come out there and show you how it is done. Just kidding great finds and I hope that it continues until the frost. Have you ever considered a fire in the field to keep it warm enough to detect in the winter?

The "Brazil Silver" peaked my interest. This is what I found, from architecturals.net.

"Several names denote the presence of silver in items that contain no silver. "Brazil Silver" for instance is a name used by Nevada Globe Silver Works of Birmingham, England to describe a line of wares composed entirely of nickel and without a trace of sterling or silver plate. "German Silver" is silver colored substitute made from nickel, copper and zinc that were often used as a base for silver plate."

Another site dates Brazil Silver production to the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

My congratulations on a nice haul.
