Good finds; I like to hunt with a friend too. That coin used as a neckless is great.

I had thought the mystery silver coin was the begging of a love token and maybe I will finish it some day.

That is a cool group of old foreign silver.

The half dollar sized coin looks like a Canadian half to me, but it is pretty thin.

Thanks plehbah I had thought that it might be Canadian because it rang up as a dime on the dfx and the other Canadian coins that I found.It's less than half dollar size and bigger than a quarter.

'18?1 holed silver smaller than a dime' - no idea how big a dime is but if you give the mm then I will ID. Based on what I can see but need the other side: its a Silver British '3 Pence'.

I think it is Maltese,British mint.I see a matiese cross on the back.On the front I can make out-- toria--Probably Victoria,and nia.On the back a Maltese cross.could be 1881.Thank Crusader.

No, its a silver 3 pence. The '3' is the large number in the middle.

They often made bracelets out of lots of these, hence the hole

Despite evidence to the contrary, I am still hoping that you are actually pronouncing it "thruppance" with a heavy rolling of the r's.
