I'm a bit behind in my posting, so I'm going to make a few posts today. This post represents my last few visits to a 1723 house. I've probably put in 35+ hours of detecting time at this house and it still keeps producing. Here are links to the first two posts:

I always seem to find something unusual or interesting. This time it is a tie between some large copper disks and a small copper cup. The disks had my heart racing when I popped the plug as they all tumbled about in the hole. Alas, they were not the cache of old coins I initially thought they were but rather switch labels to some crazy machine. My favorite is the one referring to X-Rays.
The cup is cool because it helped answer a mystery to my first hunt. I found something I theorized could have been toy furniture but I wasn't sure. The cup confirms for me that it was.
Does anyone have any information about the back mark that says PLATED has 6 stars, and an eagle (or griffin) on it? How old is it? American, English?
So far, coin totals are: 45 wheaties, 6 IH's, 5 silvers, 1 LC, 1 two center, 1 buffalo nickel, and a mess load of clad.
Enjoy the pics.
