Sweet post there Jeff. Good finds and excellent photos.
Noticed the coin with the hole in it. Makes you wonder if these coins were someones 'collection'?
As a young boy I collected early Victorian farthings.
I was given a coin of the same period. It was an East India Shipping company coin. It was of silver, the year 1835.
That was the year my my great grandfather was born. Four generations later and a hundred years on, I was born and given his name, along with the keep-sake 1835 coin with a hole in it.
Then, at the age of two, our house caught fire and the 'keep-sake' was 'lost'.......The farthings I collected later, were eventually 'lost' over time......I wonder what tale your finds could tell?....MattR.UK.

p.s. Jeff, what camera are you using? It appears to 'macro' very well
