Hi All, I have been waiting on the ACT Historic Society to get back to me with something... but no! A couple of months ago now I reunited the war medal with the owners daughter Pam. It was a great (bloody freezing) afternoon. The Historic Society did some research on the 'Corrigan' family...

Nice finds there Dutchy, I especially like the shilling. I love the design of it, simple but effective! SF

Nice find there Silver! I found a WWII medal myself a number of months back. I contacted the War Memorial who tracked down the daughter. On Monday just gone (30/6) I met up with the ACT Heritage Library and the daughter (husband too) and I handed the medal to her. She was over the moon. I did...

Nice work there Joshwasere, always love a gold ring and a shilling! On the beach or a park? Looking at the shilling I would say possibly a park :) SF

Very interesting thought there Pete... I made a video of me digging hole just yesterday to show a mate at work how I extract a coin. I recall I had one crusty side and one clean side. So, I watched the video to see whether the crusty bit faced up or down. Guess what, the coin was vertical...
