These are some of my finds from last year

enjoy

im not sure what the top one is, the coin is very different from anything else we found!... silver....

...not much detail to go on there, leelad! But if that's a thru'penny piece next to the coin in the top picture then it's obviously quite small. Could be a 'silver' three pence. They were generally round, rather than angled.

Recommend you put a ruler below any objects you photograph to help indicate the size. Either that, or place a more modern object like a fifty pence piece or pound coin next to them for the sake of comparison.

thats a really good idea that, thanks.... i will re do some pictures with a ruler...

Here is my time metal detecting yesterday & what i found...

need some help identifying some things though...

Please can you tell me if you think its a old belt buckle im not sure?


The other one we thought was a ring its got some sort of square stamp in the inside???



And the best find was a Army Service badge is Brilliant condition. What year would it have been from?. i dont know nothing about it. Thanks



any a nice one penny

King George died 52/53 so the badge will be from pre that year. Looks like a general service badge I think. Probably before the Service Corps got its Royal prefix, whenever that was. RASC (Run Away Someones Coming)

Thats brilliant i hope it is one of those, not worth much but its still a great find

It always gives you a bit of a thrill no matter what you find!

The ASC became RASC in 1918, so the Cap Badge would be from George V not George VI, and would be dated between 1910 and 1918.

EDIT: However it has got the word Royal on the left and so could be either George V or George VI

The cap badge is RASC which would be dated later than 1919, during WW1 and to 1919 the ASC cap badge was of solid design with ASC in the middle of it, the cap badge above was used during WW2.

Thanks for that Bert well happy to have found out more about it
