Nice finds. I love those old English coins. Seeing we weren't colonised by the British till 1788 the chance of finding the real old coins is a bit remote. Australia did not have its own currency till about 1910. My oldest coin so far is a halfpenny, 1770 I found in the local showground although it's very worn. The only silver being a threepence, 1845 and shilling, 1891 and then some pennies and halfpennies from the early 1800's up to the early 1900's. I have permission to detect an old inn site that traded in the 1850's to 1860's and some gold diggins from the same era so will have a look at them in the near future and hopefully add to the silver collection.

hi mirage,
These all came of a showfield site that operated
from 1762 til recently,i could even trace where the
victorian stalls were by the amount of pennies and
halfpennies found in all i have had almost 100 silver
coins from this site,even found the paddock where they
kept all the horses,livery buttons,horse furniture,buckles
etc.etc.
Nothing earlier than william III and very worn so lost
around the mid georgian times.
*incidentally this large field is opposite my mother in
laws front gate and she was friend of farmer...heaven...lol
