The bottle opener I found a couple of weeks ago but only scrubbed up yesterday & what a surprise haha had a good chuckle.

The catalogue value of silver coins will never be the same again - some great finds and many in surprisingly good condition.

Cheers Lammerlaw, You cant beat a bit of behind the scenes research (gotta thank Foiled for this one) especially as the usual places seem a bit hunted out, I'm sure once we get a decent crack at this new spot there will be more posts a comin!
