Not going to type a long story for this one, just show the pictures. The crew and I went back to a very solid permission we have and this weekend's efforts put me with 3 more large cents, 2 unknown coppers, a 1773 VA Half Penny, 1952 silver Quarter (D), some wheaties, maybe a gun part?, and other goodies. My crew also scored an 1854 Half Dime, sterling silver cross, and an 1832 Nova Scotia penny. A previous weekend I did not get with them also netted a trime, and some barber quarters and dimes. I believe we are up to ~30 significant coins and a ton of other relics. It has been a great spot with a massive mix of history so far.

*** Updates for later IDs. I believe one of my unknown coppers is a 1670s Charles II Farthing. The size lines up and you can still see a bit of the silhouette. A book I recently received as a gift for relic hunting, was actually written based on finds in the area and some of these were found by the author as well.
**My data plate is going to be a Brown Bess Wrist Plate, from the famous brown bess series rifles used by the British in the area. The marks are for Company D, rifle 93.
As always, check them out, play spot the coin in the hole and thanks for looking!
Maybe a plate from a gun?
