Copper Silver Gold! Plus Army plate and misc

[rastinirv]

What a nice day! Was at park I've been to many times before. First found the little sterling pendant/charm. Later a 1944 Canadian cent. Then came the 14K, 14-gram ring.

Wondering if it's antique; the monogram looks kind of old-timey. I *think* it says DHM, but not sure. Any ideas?

Also found the Army plate, plus, very deep, what looks like some kind of old handle.

Thanks for looking!

Hey pl8man, any idea how old the plate is? I figured it's probably not all that old since it is rustless.

I had some in my collection back in the 1990's but they were black with white numbers , very heavy and were from the late 1950's . My guess is the early 1970's , very cool !

1944 George VI Halfpenny
OK, as I only saw the half I'm used to..........Now reading your post again, its British Canadian. Same question, what happened to it?

What you're referring to is a common 1944 Canadian one-cent piece. If you mean why does it look the way it does, it's because I ran it through the rock tumbler for a while.

OK, that explains it.

Yeah, generally if it's a common copper coin -- even if it's pretty old -- I run them in the tumbler. Sometimes they come out looking great, sometimes their pitting/general toastiness is fully revealed.
