I was invited about two weeks ago to search these farms with Wilhelm.
I can only say that Wilhelm is an awesome person with very good historical knowledge.
Thanks for the invite Wilhelm!

Some of my finds:
A old military button
small glass bottle
Spoon with an inscription: Proper Stainless Steel
A piece of an old pocket watch
A piece of an old toy car
An old sickle

My finds for the weekend.

1920 Sixpence
Part of a QSA medal with silver Defence of Kimberley bar, the medallion eluded me but come the weekend I'll be back.
A silver swivel from a pocket watch made by Henry Pope between 1892 and 1900 in Birmingham England

Look at the two 5c pieces attached, one is dated 1983 and the other 1991 - our currency is of deplorable quality.


Happy hunting out there.
Many happy hunts.

Nice Wilhelm. Where is the rest of the medal mate? It must be in the area. Better re-check on different angles ;)
