Tinpan great finds..... That one badge in the last picture is a "Australian Commonwealth Forces" cap Badge. Could that mean that this site could be from the 2nd world war?

God bless

Hi Tinpan, is the round thing at the top left corner, bottom photo, a glass lid? I've found a few of those. Also nice ceramic ointment pot. Did you look for the lid? Nice hunt finds!
