Nice find mate.
This was the only half farthing minted under William IV. It was minted for use in Ceylon (the British Crown colony of present-day Sri Lanka) so is not a coin I've ever come across here in the UK.
In 'Extra Fine' condition that would be a £350 coin (according to SPINK). Still the value in making the discovery is worth a lot to I say.
