Few old coins & trash from 17th century country house.

Got myself back to the grounds of the 17th century country house for a few hours.
Few old coins:
George II 17?? Halfpenny

George V 1918 Halfpenny

A Ring

And plenty of trash, bits of lead, 1969 5-pence & 1975 penny, Dog tag, Bicycle valve, Bullet cases...

Getting slightly disheartened to find that only after a few years in the ground the coins deteriorate so much they become unrecognisable!
Stormy weather here again in Derbyshire - not going anywhere!!

Yeap, modern coins will not last more than 50-100 years in our soil. Cheap metal combinated with chemicials.
