I have had hours of fun hunting in this park which dates back to 1850, which is 'old'
for this part of the world. Here are my latest finds.......
A toy cannon. Hence the title of the post. No idea of age but I like it a lot.

My oldest penny. 1863.

An old no date sixpence. Pretty neat because it is worn smooth. Can see an early Victoria head.

NZ forces military buttons. I have no idea of the date of these.

A heavy silver and enamel ring. No marks but it looks old.

1930 US one cent. Has wheat sheaves around it.
Guess it is a 'wheatie' 'wheaty'?? :tongue3:
