Six hours at the local hall

[Daggy]

Not much work this week so I thought I'd spend the day at the hall and finish up the area between the cricket pitch and the hall.
The old bloke who tried to chase me and my mate "Pat" off months ago came over and had a chat. He was totally the opposite this time, no yelling and swearing but he did bring backup, some poor pimply faced kid about 18yo who was more overweight than me! Asked me If I could stay five metres away from the hall "No worries".

Found the best condition florin I've seen, It's my favorite coin yet, even though it's not worth much it just looks so new.
Also found a cuff link made in Birmingham in 1893. Here's the pics.

This is the florin

I didn't clean this shilling as it's a rare date and I'm not sure what grade it would be.

Don't clean the 33 shilling Daggy, a poor condition 33 is worth a $100.
And a closeup of your 22 thrippy would be nice
Well found mate !
:Y: :Y:

Some ripper finds mate,that '33 is a good find alright.Did you go with Pat,or on your own?

 

[Dignit]

Very nice Daggy, well done. Great condition. :Y:

 

[Daggy]

Thanks Silver

I just give them a rinse with a bit of detergent at first so I can check dates and condition. If they aren't worth much they get the lemon and bicarb treatment.
Do you think the 22 threepence might be worth something?

 

[Daggy]

On my own Ktm, Pats gone down to Victoria for a while.

Haha don't worry I've checked!

You scored some very nice coins from that site, I reckon even better are the cufflinks - quite an ornate pattern on them and in great condition too. :Y:

I love the fact that I could trace the age and place of manufacture from the hall marks.

Sweet Hunt Mate :Y: Luv the cufflinks

That 1933 shilling is quite rare with only 200000 minted. Top finds. :Y:

The ground is usually quite dry and hard to dig, I think that's why they aren't as corroded as coins from other spots.

 

[rod evans]

A great lot of coins.
Well done.
