Ye mate , i was quite surprised when i cleaned and counted

But well rewarded and very happy
Found these bits in the scraps too

Lot's of junk mate, you worked hard for that haul.
A few weeks ago (maybe more) i unearthed a huge padlock
After a hundred ish years buried, restoration was fanciful at best
I started with a wire brush , then soaking in molasses (4 weeks all up)
As time went on chunks of rust flaked off until i thought ,if i keep going there wont be anything left.
So i filled the gaping holes with car bog , and a bit of paint.
Not too bad i reckon

That's one for the mantle piece Santa, how heavy is it?
Dont know the exact weight but 'pretty bloody heavy' would be close
And yes it does have pride of place , however , not my mantle piece
I handed it back to the landowner on saturday

Geez, that florin has got plenty of detail on it (mine are mostly worn). Pity it wasn't a BB that copped the digger. :Y:
I havent posted in a while , not because i havent been out but because really nothing significant to show
Today wasnt much different to the others
I did get pretty excited when i cleaned this one though
Still not sure .... cant get a clear pic ... need a better look with a loop
