That wind was something! I found the J Cairns bottle chasing another signal. Circa 1850s I think! We got a few old head stamps we didn't have. Also got some buttons and a 1917 wheatie. Not sure about that square token. The back is blank but looks like TB scratched on it. Any ideas? Also does anyone have an idea on the brass piece with the ring on top? Lots of iron relics today. The rain and wind really exposed the glass and pottery on the "beach" farm! Have fun out there and be safe!

That was a good hunt, love the bottle, congrats!
Btw, I know I've seen that brass piece before...maybe it'll come to me once I stop thinking about it (that's how my aged brain works now :laughing7:).

Liking the glass bottle!
The brass piece in photo #5 looks familiar for some reason.
The iron peg beside the Pin Pointer is a survey stake
Nice assortment of finds from the farm, well done.

That’s the largest spike I’ve ever seen!

Thanks! I was wondering what a huge spike like that was for!
