Made a few saves in between rain.

Here's my latest saves.
The first pic is from the first site.
A couple of buttons, a 1867 Victoria One penny, a 1942 Aus Half Penny, and a few other bits.

Any ideas on the iron ring thingy with a T section, and the other broken circular thing?

The second site yielded a few silvers, a 1877 Victoria Half Penny, and a couple more Aus Pennies.
another nice little button and a pinfire shotgun shell.


Cheers guys.

Very cool! Interesting looking silver coins.

Nice digs.. I'm thinking the iron bits might be some horse tack

Thanks guys.
Here's a closer photo of the silver coins.

Interestingly the two Threepence coins both have the Denver mint mark.

And this is a closer shot of the button.
I think it's fairly modern.

Denver?! What the??
That's a real cool button either way

Here's a link to Australia's Threepence mints, they also used San Francisco for a couple of years.

Did Australia stop producing silver coins about the same time the US did?

Australia went to 50% silver coins in 1946 and the last to circulated was 1966.
