Penny token finds

[matchy]

Here are some pics of my penny token finds from the site of an old inn that i had been researching, i had only ever found one token some time ago, but to find this many in the one spot over 2 days of detecting is unbelievable, i still can't believe my luck, just hoping for some silver now from the same era! one of them is an 1852 Queen Victoria Penny, there was also a token from New Zealand and the halfpenny is from Campbells store at Morpeth in NSW, will post more pics when i clean them up.

Very nice, Morpeth is just up the river from where I grew up.

There is a story of a sunken boat somewhere near Devils Elbow that had a chest of gold. A massive amount of trade used to go throught Morpeth back in the day.

I would love to see it cleaned up.Matchy.

Nice finds, a few tokens are up there on my bucket list, guess I better get researching as yours has certainly paid off.

Nice finds. Good to see research paying off.
I warehouse boat definitely capsized and sank at Morpeth. I didn't read about any gold chest though.

Be aware that some tokens can be worth a small fortune. Just check details before you go cleaning them is my recommendation.

One good find pays for it, plus a bit of history as well.
