Silver & Relics From 1850's House Site

[Goldpick]

This was a hunt prior to finding the silver thimble in my previous topic.  I have been detecting this house site on and off for a few years now and it still offers some excellent finds if you are patient & persistent.  Most finds have been made with the Deus and HF coil using the Hot program, with only minor adjustments made with the reactivity and disc if the iron is unbearable.  The property was occupied from the 1850's through to the mid 1900's sometime, and has thrown up plenty of Victorian era coins, relics and jewellery in the past.  

Probably my favourite find on this trip was the large Ironmonger's token with a beautiful patina, I really don't find many of these in my part of the world - moreso on the Victorian goldfields.  Anyway, hope you enjoy the pics.

Great finds and photos!  Here in So California, I’ve found just a small handful of Aussie sixpences, three pences, and pennies, along with a couple of WW2 era Florins and some three pences struck at San Francisco mint.  One Aussie coin I found was at a park near downtown Los Angeles..it was an Australian Shilling, with a ram’s head on the reverse. I don’t know of anyone else down here in So Cal that has ever found one.
 

Good luck on your next hunt!! 👍🏼

Like the token. Aust tokens are very rare, those the value does not show this. Expect about $100 to 300 for yours. Great finds.
