Ok Guys. Me and Nate were talking on yahoo messenger and he told me that he was done packing for his trip to Georgia. He really wanted to hunt my uncles 1889 home. I said "Ok, I will call my uncle." My uncle said it was alright and the next thing know I was detecting at my uncles house with Nate 
The day started off really slow and for 1 hour in we did not get anything good...just clad and junk.
In the second hour, it took off with a bang!
I pulled out a REALLY REALLY OLD Chinese coin! I have heard people from back east dig these up all the time because they are so used to digging these up. I am guessing it is from the 1800's when they had all of the Chinese working the apple orchards around Washington State. I called Nate over when I dug it up and he took pictures of the coin and me holding it and everything! Best coin/oldest one that I have found so far. Need to know what the date on it is.
After a few moments we fiddle around in the backyard some more and I hear Nate yell, "OH MY GOD!" He just found a HUGE copper!
Nate is the king in my book for the day 
Not going to tell you what year or what it was! I am going to let him go into more detail in his post. After that I was really determined to try and ketch up to him! I swung my detector some more and I heard an iffy but good sounding coin signal. Out pops 1923 wheatie! My oldest wheatie ever!
Anyways it was a productive day and we both really enjoyed ourself over there! There were so many targets! Once It rains we are definatly going back to see if we can get any more old copper coins! We did three hours by the way if any of you wanted to know.
