Excellent result.

Got to be some more goodies in that area given the shoulder badge as well rather than a random.

Awesome finds Roy. I like the lead soldier, would like to find something like that for my bucket list.

Some super cool stuff there Roy well done indeed.

That rising sun is awesome ..... In the last few years since detecting, I've often thought about the one (the same or similar) I used to play with/admire as a kid in a box of other old treasures.

Crazy thing is I'm not a hundred % sure where it is now...... Hoping it's somewhere safe at my fathers place.

Thanks for sharing, very impressive.

Awesome Roy. Gotta love that rising sun badge....such an iconic style. Immediately makes you think of the old WW1 Aussie digger. Great digging mate. Hope to see more treasures from that spot.
