I stumbled across a couple the same on google but couldn't get any details on them. Certainly an ashtray, either a red indian design, indian motorcycles, or indian motel out hicksville somewhere

Very cool AR
I reckon thats exactly it

 

[Sandta]

Out n about with a few of the boys this morning
First spot... 2 badges
"Maitland District Girls Patriotic League"

Second spot ... 2 & 3/4 half pennies
1933 commonwealth

3/4 of a half penny ( cant see a date)

And a larger early English half penny

Again i cant yet get the date , but im pretty sure thats not Vicky's head

An interesting collection of finds. Is it the same head as this.......

 

[Heatho]

Another excellent hunt there Sandta, can't believe all the really old stuff you guys get up there. Well done.

 

[rocketaroo]

that second badge is pretty interesting, cool relics

Another way to identify an early Britannia is that Lady Britannia faces to her left in the later coins but to her right in earlier ones.

George IV, only issued between 1825 to 1827, great pickup Sandta.

The coming week's forcast is for rain (and work)
So i headed back out again this arvo to a familiar spot
I tried to stay away from those pesky rivet/tacks, though they are wide spread
The remaining areas are difficult to detect due to the long thick tufts of grass
I persevered , working slowly and digging every solid signal and was rewarded with some interesting pieces

The lumpy belt buckle is (or was ) gilt

A couple of cool cricket related items

A couple of coins

1856 penny

And then there was this one ....

Diameter is 34mm ... I cant see a date ... But im pretty sure thats a '4' under her head
Bit of a bugger thats the only spot that wont clean up easily
It is much thicker than a normal penny

Cracking find that George IV coin, very difficult nut to crack finding one of those here in Australia.

Go Sandta, you and the 3030 are on a roll when it comes to those ancient coins.
Cheers, Sinhof.
