Out for the day with no8wire, frost bite start, not an overly great amount found but was a cool day.
3 little silvers, nice big chunky silver pocket watch casing, ww2 women's land service badge, old enamel butterfly badge with gold Gild on the back.
And a few other bits, also found a small old copper pocket watch which I still have to clean up.

Can't see any hallmarks, I imagine it would be on the inner of the back plate
