Silver dollar and Australian Florin

[tngirl]

Hunted the yard of a 1940's house today. There was an earlier house there from the 1800's but it was torn down about 60 years ago. There's lots of trash and also large iron targets so it will take me forever to completely hunt it. I found 65 cents in clad, and a 1922 silver dollar. I'm new to the hobby, so any tips on cleaning it would be appreciated! Also turned up a 1945 Australian Florin. Someone has bent it into a bottle cap shape. Kind of an odd thing to turn up in rural Tennessee. Does anyone have any ideas about the age of the candle holder? It appears to be solid brass, and looks like it may have had a reflector on top that has been broken off.

Love the silver but I cant take my eyes off that candle holder.

Hope I can find the rest of it. I'll be sure to post pics if I do.

Welcome

Interesting silver Florin, can't think why they spent time doing that

Hi crusader Like the guns of Singapore your facing in the wrong direction The florin is a ww2 unfinished sweart-hearts pin. With over 1 million US soldiers spending time in Australia during WW2 . Seems a few seemed to like an Austrailan girl or 2 LOL

I just realized that the opinion i expressed in my first reply to this post was wrong , This florin was in
fact being made into something much more like a button , not a ring -sorry I just saw the rim on the
obverse - "King side" and jumped to my conclusion. Argentium.
