So 17 Silver coins, and a first for me 1936 Farthing, 3 brooches 1 being hallmarked, the others I will need to Google. Pile of penny's with a couple Vickie ones and a aussie roo penny.

Well done man. Really enjoyed the day.
congrats on the farthing....a a pretty rare find and a nice bucket list tick. The WW2 woman's Institute badge is very cool...bet there's not too many of those out there.

Looking forward to our next trip now!
Cheers mate.
