Nice to find a piece of history like that. Way to go!
 

Fantastic finds!!! That is really cool. Thanks for sharing.
 

That is really awesome! Congrats!
 

Thanks for the interest , After spending years hunting old gold mining towns its nice to get out into the farming country. hard place to find a good find when the farm critters out number the people 500 to one.

Interesting, they made it from a watch fob chain.
 

Awesome finds, congratulations. Looking forward to your follow up right up, that is a really interesting piece.
 

Hey tinpan , Great finds and historical research as usual ! What is the smaller item with the two Victoria coins on it -a brooch ?
can you close up it ?
