Nice group of finds for the week there Tony. The ceramic marbles are cool. I found one of those last year whilst digging the vege patch!
I don't have a pocket knife collection as yet. All the ones I've found so far, seem to disintegrate after a gentle wash.
Love the bullets too.......bet they'd look great all polished up and put into a clip.

Wow! That is 5 kings before Victoria and I believe the very first shilling series (1816-1820). Can't wait to see a picture, that is quite a find.

Sweet finds Tony. The medalet is very cool and the story link is a facinating read. Well done and a nice bit of research.
