[Robert Le Mal]

thanks Christos, Wally I think that's it or so close it doesn't matter.

 

[Goldpick]

A very nice token Robert, another rarity for the collection.

I love your eye for detail, your the only one that can see it, well done.

Cheers, DD :lol:

The button looks more like a volunteer medical staff button all states used the design and it is hard to distinguish 1870-1901

The new south wales general service button is from 1870 - 1880

so infact, he realey found a piece, of a piece of eight? cool

 

[Robert Le Mal]

hey thanks Duck I'll check that out - the button has had some of the fine detail rubbed off or sort of squashed down.
Rocket - I only wish I found Spanish silver.... but not going to happen.

 

[Robert Le Mal]

didn't get a lot last night... military belt buckle (Victorian period I'm guessing), some weird sort of bling and coins plus furniture handle.

Pretty sure this is a cap badge for Melbourne Uni

Now to take pictures of my Excal II and it goes for sale.

 

[silver]

And its the 1939 roo half penny you want Robert(soo close), nice little old silver too, as well as all the intricates.

 

[treasureman]

the button at the top middle with the anchor i found one exactly the same. any idea what period or year it is from?

 

[Robert Le Mal]

Hey Silver - had to take some migraine medication so I'm about as sharp as a hammer at the moment.
1939 Roo half penny?

 

[Robert Le Mal]

Treasureman - unfortunately no. Found it in close to Melbourne, where (roughly) did you dig yours up?
I'm finding a lot of military stuff so I'm guessing it's navy issue?

 

[Goldpick]

Didn't get a lot? Looks pretty damned good to me, a good variety of unusual finds, and some good coins to boot. The military buckle is a snake buckle, and a very nice find.

 

[Goldandsand]

Some Great finds well done! No need for the Excalibur anymore? Don't think I could part with mine!

 

[Robert Le Mal]

Goldpick - I'm probably spoiled as the site I worked last night usually gives me more finds. At the moment I've switched back to hitting it with the CTX and the large coil, trying out ferrous-coin setting to see what I've missed.

Goldandsand - I'm not diving much and I use the CTX for all beach work & wading so the Excal is surplus.
