Back to old school detecting this evening. Forgot my pouch, and hence my pin pointer 🤦🏻‍♂️ Digging rather large holes to find those stupid side of the hole signals. Anyway, first find. A circular disc of Hallmarked silver. Brooch? Mount? No idea.

Best bits from tonight. Silver disc, Hallmarked 1937. Possibly a brooch as remains of fixing solder on back. No idea what was going on with the front. A ship halfpenny, date illegible Horse brass Piece of worked bronze, perhaps medieval.

Another nice little selection. Last find of the day was the lovely 1942 sixpence. Also a coin weight to the value of 13 shillings & 6 pence. And finally, part a gold? earing? Looks to be rose gold.

I think yesterday's bit of shiny stuff is probably part of a gold earing. There are the remains of solder where the pin could have been, and a hole below with a drop attached. 2nd piece of gold this year, and have now found at least 1 item per year since 2020 0.28 grs

Well hello there, who ever you are. You may be an error coin, or a continental imitation, the legends are mixed up, and are not making sense in the field. One shall be delving into the library later.
