Good hunts William. The bead is probably jet. Very fashionable with the Victorians. Usually worn as mourning ware. Good lot of finds. Merry Christmas mate 😁👍

Hi Andrew, maybe that’s where we get the expression “jet black “ from 🤔 Happy Christmas to the CBK team as well :) 👍🏼

Those medallions are so cool! Well done and keep it up!

[@Digging_Kangaroo]

Thankyou :)

Some interesting bits from that hunt.Those coronation medallions are always a cool find. I've dug lots of those Gardiner buttons from older sites over the years.Cheers.

Thankyou :) yes I was reading online that some new apprentice got completely lost in the Gardiner factory and had to be shown how to get back out 😂 so it must have been a pretty big company and pumped out a lot of buttons 👍🏼

The item with Philadelphia on it is a mounting stud for the handle of a hand saw. Cool find.

[@Digging_Kangaroo]

Yes the old saw medallions are always a cool find 👍🏼😁

At 2.45 may be Morris Minor front bonnet badge surround. They were tight on the turned down nose of the bonnet. Not sure but could be.

[@laurieboyle3338]

Hmmm possibly not bulky enough for that after a re think.

[@Digging_Kangaroo]

Yes it’s a good guess I never thought of that , but it is pretty light brass so I’m not sure :) 👍🏼
