Here are some pics of my last finds on 30 Jan.

Nice to get the 1827 shilling. The shotgun cartridge base is the biggest and heaviest I've found. It measures 26mm and weighs 13.00g

A couple of nice ornamental buttons were amongst the ones I found.

The other notable finds were the part coins and tokens. I got them within about 60cm of each other. I reckon some gambling took place there. The curled one looks about 1/2d token size but is a heavy little unit (17.51g).

The 3d is 1854. The snake buckle remnant is the first I've come across broken like that.
