Really hot hot day today, but managed 18 silver coins, silver vintage earrings, another returned services badge which I will try track down the owner. Old wellcome chemical works bottle lid, old silver plated spoon that says epns then some old hallmarks. And the usually mixture of Brit, nz and aussie penny's and half penny's

they were joined together and one of the flower bits was missing but found it a few inches away so I'm guessing knowing the history of the area they were packed for travel but got lost, or they were having a naughty in the bush lol but then who would spend time joining them together

Went with a mate this morning and he found 12 silvers and pulled up the half crowns and florins, he found a new spot in the large area where we hunt, I came in after and picked out what was left..the little silvers
