You're on a nice late 18th C site now! Have fun!
 

Congratulations on your beautiful recoveries..Your research definitely rewarded you
 

Very Nice 8reales, Awesome finds!
 

Awesome hunt my friend!!!! Congrats:icon_thumleft:
 

Interesting ‘token’. I’ve seen them in farthing size and halfpenny size. Although they may well have circulated as tokens to alleviate the desperate shortage of small coins (as did almost anything copper with approximately the right size) these were ostensibly issued as commemorative medalets for royal visits.

In this case, the town is Weymouth in Dorset, England which the King visited on 30th June 1789. Identical examples exist with different dates and other town names, coincident with royal visits to those places.

Interesting, not seen this one before. Cheers
 

The 3rd picture down on the let look like it might be a die as in dice made from a musket ball. I'm sure that that sites want to give!:icon_thumleft:

My target was the mill site from the early 1900s, glad I came across this other site
 

Thank you helpful info
