(Thanks to MW for the idea of a black B/G) and sorry for the image being blurry. I'll try and get a new photo.

It was a great hunt, aswell as the ship half penny being the first halfpenny I ever found.

All of those pieces are quite fascinating. Do you have pictures of the jewelery you've found this year? ( or was that in another post)
