Nice finds Neil. I don't think the half dime is the rare one though - looks like the ordinary variety worth about $17 Sad

Cheers lads and lasses. I think you are right Peter, although that said according to some of the American posters the 1838 half dime can be worth up to $1400 in their "Red book of Coins". Its apparently dependent upon the mint mark which I don't think mine has. Quite strange to think that some of the US detecotrists have spent 30 years detecting and never found pre Civil War silver and then one turns up in South Wales. Just goes to show you really do never know what the next spade of soil will produce - I guess that why we all do it!

Paul - I also think the bronze triangular shaped thing could have Roman conatations. Its definately been deliberately shaped, with the edges still relatively sharp. I think its the wrong shape for a votive axe head, but its not to far off in design. Did your books show anything?

Great link Hedgehog - shame mine doesn't have the O on it under Half Dime.

Cheers all
Neil
