Finds

[Ken (Australia)]

Hi all, have spent the last couple of afternoons at a site in town where three old cottages have been demolished to make way for some new buildings. The developers took about 6 inches of top soil away and then levelled the site but I still managed to find a few coins.
A couple of clay marbles, a hand full of 1 and 2 cent pieces, a 190? English penny, Australian pennies 22, 23, 38, 44, 53 and 60. Half pennies 11, 13, 41 and 42. A 1914 shilling and 1923 threepence. The two lapel badges are from the All For Australia League which was apparently some type of patriotic organisation of the 1930's. Have a bit more ground to cover yet. HH...Ken

Looks like you had a couple of enjoyable afternoons Ken, makes me wonder how many coins were in the removed soil.

What wonderful find Ken. I also have found a few of those clay and blue marbles. Did you know that to a collector, the small blue marbles are worth about $5.00 each, the large of the same type are worth around $20.00. Angela

Am thinking the same thing... find out where they dumped the topsoil!

Looks like some good stuff. Yeah, too bad didn't get there before they took the soil. Good luck.
