mick in the 3rd pic down you have 2 coins on bottom left that are the same...what are they??? i have a very worn one and cant make out what it is.superb collection of finds, very well done!!!!

[mickycoin "mick"]

hi jassy, thanks for the interest, the 2 coins are birmingham mining tokens i think, these date 1794, have found quite alot over the years they are common around this area for some reason, no doubt someone on this site will have the reason why?? thanks again for your interest   mickycoin

[Chef Geoff]

Jass as the link above explains around the edge of the coin it read "Birmingham, Redruth and Swansea". In other words they were a local company.
