I have that feeling to just about everything that comes out of there is 1700,s very few 1800,s not even a 19th century silver coin yet hhmm ? Last year i got that 1760 King Louis silver from the field across the street from the field iam in now Jim

Nice finds - the porcelain stopper is probably from a beer bottle, but can't find a brewer by that name. This type was used from 1875 to 1920. The stoppers are collectible. See www.rustycan.com

Nice going on the digs. Yes that is a porcelain bottle stopper, most likely closer to 1900. I found one just like it a few weeks back in CT. Here is a link about them:
