Looking at it right now with the loupe,... a bit worn, but no rim damage at all,.. when i get some more CLR I'll give it a bath and see what comes of it.

Very nice finds Silver, you seem to do well on those old military badges. Hope this link provides some more detail on the origins of the badge.

Well that was good GP, we now have a start date of 1897(down the bottom of that link) for the hat badge,.. works in quite well with the date of the sixpence too and its relative wear and tear,.... amazing where things originate and where they lay to rest in the end.

Weeeeeell,..... First coin today,.... only had just over an hour again,.... 1915 Threepence and 10c worth of small change to spend on ? W H A T ?,.... and here are my not so great Pickys.

I admit it is a bit worn

It's soaking in CLR at the mo,.... squeezed the bottle for the last few drops.
here are a few online.

Think I'll save it for in the book at any rate.

Well here you go,... first two pickys are underLED UV light, second two are under LED white light.
It was cleaned up with CLR and then a light Bicarbing.

I think I prefer the white light myself,.... just thought I'd give it a go,.....once.
Mind you the Kitchen light was on as well(flouro about 4 metres away).

 

[Ramjet]

I agree, white light is better.

Here is a link for the hat badge above,... says it is first world war.

I recon that's close enough to it in all probability. :|

here is one of todays finds.

not sure what it was for, but the writing is the right way around,... so we can rule out a stamp at any rate.

Cool find looks very early 1900s at the latest

 

[silver]

First I thought it was a button,... then a stamp,...still none the wiser though.

[Ramjet]

Cool find tho.

 

[Wally69]

It's the trade mark off an old hand saw - around 1890s era

Very, very cool

Second find was an old toy car.
lost a bit of meat on that window pillar.

and I might have scratched the paint on the bonnet

still got something in the back blocking that window,..I did remove what looked like a small square nut from inside with the dirt,... probably what was being carted around in play, maybe represented a box of fizzy bottles.

still has all four wheels, even if the base has been pushed in a little.

so there you have it, an old lesney no. 59 panel van.

 

[silver]

Ha, old Mango trees(very old)there, so maybe someone was making up boxes for their mangoes to send to market,.. mind you, everyones house would of had a handsaw back then,... now that you've said what it is I can clearly see(in my minds eye) dads old saw had round things like that in it,.... have to have a look now and take a picky next time I'm out at Mums.

[Goldpick]

It is a medallion off a Robert Sorby hand saw handle, made in Sheffield.
