This is mondays finds I picked up with Foiled, managed a NZ set which was cool. The eagle anchor globe badge thing is US marine corps & the London Scottish Sure Strike badge is sterling & has in small print 'Africa 190002' not sure if this is a campaign or something. Had a bad day for gaking stuff, hit 4 coins & the sterling badge! rough bugger!! HH all

Gotta love those BIG silver days.... and great to get the NZ set to boot!

The London Scottish Sure Strike badge is fascinating. From the wee bit of research I've done, it appears to belong to the 14th London Scottish Regiment Glengarry, and is a regimental cap badge. More info here at Wiki;

Love the coins - they are just great - nothing like finding those silver ones - the NZ half Crown appears to be in really good order and must have been lost not so long after going into circulation.

There's heaps of stuff in the ground just waiting for you to find it, heck there could be treasure in your backyard!! I'm sure once you get your machine it will be the start of long & fruitful addiction! Haha good luck out there mate.
