Today I hunted in two parks and it was a Yahoo moment when this small purse popped up.

The contents are:
One 1914 English silver shilling, one 1910 Australian silver 3 pence,
3 English penny's 1908, 1912,1915.
3 English half penny's 1914 and 2 x 1912
The best item is the 1897 English Farthing (bottom row right) as it is also a first for me.
