Very good job with putting pins on those brooches!

Those will make awesome gifts to loved ones with a story behind them :-)

Hey Tony........the brooches look absolutely stunning..........
Your jeweler needs to be commended, for the seamless job he appears to have done with cleaning and re-pinning the brooches.
Top shelf stuff mate.

Cheers Tonz. We looked high and low for a sov until we couldnt dig anymore but all we found was a triple band GOLD ring and another 5 rings, one was GOLD plated also.

Hey Tony......was the shilling from the same bank as your sovereigns?
I dug one of those railway buttons recently too. Mine was the same as your smaller one, and in about the same condition.
Would love to get a Merc or a Barber one day. So far I've only had a wheat penny.
What age would you put on those mail bag seals? Would they be pre or post 1900?
Nice going as usual mate.

Tony........your "flowing hair" coin/token couldn't possibly one of these 1795 US one cent pieces.....could it??? If it is, you really need to check out the rarity.........or should I say mega-rarity!
Is there a readable date beneath the bust?
The only readable letters above the bust in your pic, certainly look like "RTY" as in libeRTY.
