Hi, all. Hope everyone is well. I worked away from home again this past weekend and had the chance to do some late afternoon hunts in the fields with the old house ruins. The hunts were over a 3 day afternoon hunt. I took the Equinox 800 with me for the hunt. Among my finds and bits and pieces is some copper pennies, a dog tax license, 3 x bicycle licenses, a Two 3ij DRACHMS (not sure exactly what this is) and then came the silver coins. a 2 1/2 1942 Shilling, a silver tiekie and 3 x silver 6 d pennies. The silver mangled piece is what looks to be a silver pocket watch casing and then i found a sterling silver Springbok bage. I have found a number of them but they are all copper. this is my first Sterling silver one. I also found some buckles, one being a very large buckle.

Thanks for looking and Happy Hunting to all

I always get a thrill out of digging tags, and those Wheel Tax tags are very fantastic. Beautiful finds. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice digs! That looks like a U.S. button, if it is, any idea how/why it was there?
