Went out for 3 hours at a seaside park, I would imagine we'll picked over, but found 5 silvers, 4 of which in 1 hole, cool vintage sleigh bell , frame and back of a pocket watch and an old pheasant broach or hat pin..and usual Brit and nz pennys.
Bell still works but the ball inside is looking a bit rusty.


Forgot to add pic
