    1. My French Step father was the only man in the war the steal a German plane and escape by flying it to England were he flew with the Free French Air Force.
    2. I had forgotten how large a Half Crown was. My Grandfather (also French) always gave me and my cousin one for our Birthdays. We thought we were really rich.

      Believe me Si, it was quite story. He then volunteered to be parachuted back into France to work with the Resistance. He had already fought in the Chinese civil war, Spanish civil war both times as a pilot. Regretfully he died in his 50s. He believed in peoples freedom. Only bad thing, he stole my mother with his French charm. I guess that did not detract from him being a very brave man.

      John Blair - well yes but my step father was a POW made to work on the airfield. He spoke very little German and he stole a flying suit, hat etc. The plane was left revving up on chocks waiting for the pilot to come. He said he shouted very loudly at the mechanics in the words he had heard the Germans user, got in the plane and flew off. He said the men were so used to doing as they were told they didn't query it. When he got to England he flew a white shirt out behind and trusted he would not be shot down. In later years the people who were slave labour in the factory where the plane was manufactured made a large model of the plane and gave it to him.

That buckle, spoon and key were so different from the other things found! And was he the same gentleman who found the odd lead “coin”? That would seem to make him the clear winner in that category!

    the .303 cartridge base with the rifle cleaning cloth is probably something someone came up with to clean the bore of a .303 rifle without getting it stuck using the extraction spring on the bolt head. that would be my guess anyway.
    looks like a great event guys! bravo!

    I see Steve is still limping rather a lot with that broken leg. He really did an injury on the old hovercraft there....hope he's not hoppy too long! The cufflink was a great find! Thanks for the history....

    The florin, as l'm sure you knoe, was worth two shillings, and was known as the 'two bob bit' . The half crown, worth two and six(pence).There never was a 'crown' in circulation, not that l ever knew,anyway, that would have been worth five bob (shillings). l wonder why it was taken out of circulation. All those pre-decimal coins bring back many memories!

    In Canada we call them 'Sun Dogs' that's the circular rainbow or part rainbow around the sun. Especially if there are part-rainbows each side of the sun. Caused by ice crystals reflecting colours from the sun. We see them a lot on the prairies

    😂, What a hair dryer. Nice cufflinks, Nick. What a lovely way to exhibit her coins - on her legs. That’s quite a decorative buckle. Lots of coins on that field. Hmmm, Spitfire Airfield, spitfire aircraft, spitfire ale. Does the snake count as a treasure? Looks like everyone had a great time.
