All,

This would rank as one of my best hunts ever.
Finds include:
KGIII: 1818 Half Crown, 1816 Shilling, 18XX Shilling, 1817 6P, 18XX 6P
KGIV:  1826 Shilling, 1829 Shilling
WilliamIV: 18XX 6P, 1835 3P
Victoria: 1845 Shilling, 1844 6P, 18X2 6P, 18XX 6P
KGV: 1916 Shilling

So other goodies include a Williams Gold Office Token from EagleHawk :  http://museumvictoria.com.au/collections/items/60851/token-1-penny-j-w-g-williams-ironmongers-drapers-eaglehawk-victoria-australia-circa-1858  
Also an East India Company one cent 1845 ( http://coinquest.com/cgi-bin/cq/coins?main_coin=7349 )and a very worn KGIII half penny (probably 1806).

One of the really nice relics was what I think was a clock winder that was also a working compass (gilded in gold), and a couple of nice pieces of Victorian gold jewellery.

Just found this photo of a coin I found years ago in the remote WA goldfields.
Can anyone identify it?
