Looks like you're holding one of those seal top spoon handles in the first pic. Is there any design on the end?

 

[cmthunder]

looks like it had iron on top and some raised part, can you explain more about raised top spoon handle

There are lots of similar types but they all follow the same construction, brass hook with iron screw back.

I have no clue on your clay pipe, I just like it when they come out nearly whole.

The above is the other piece you wanted to know about.

thanks again, i guess the troops were carrying these items for some reason. Could the drawer handle have been handle to ammo box or some other box/

I would never want to assume anything in detecting, ie. there maybe no connection to the troops/camp at all. You must think of every possibility...

thanks again how do you find these items in UK database, is it your past experience or do you search somehow? Its great when you can figure out what some of these items are thanks for the help once again.

It might be just the shading, but the coin reminds me of the reverse of a North Wales Halfpenny.

I found 2 Georgivs coins here, this is slightly larger. Thought I could read" one" on one side in middle of coin.

I've pretty much found a hundred of everything you get 1 of.(not being big head, just rough facts) I don't like to find something I can't ID, so I learn all the time. I know what it is when I see it, normally within seconds of digging it. Its the one thing I'm good at, remembering what small pieces of finds are. Whether seeing it on here, in a book 5 years ago or ebay etc...

PS. Often searching for pictures/links (I know people like) takes longer than just telling you. Thats why I used to just say & let the other search for the 'proof'.
The UKDFD is easier to search than the PAS, and they have more modern items. The PAS only records 300 years & older. But like anything, its knowing the right terms or keep generalising & scroll through the pages. On the UKDFD, change the dropdown to '40' per page. Or come here its quicker.

Crusader I really appreciate all the help and the pictures to see whole item recovered is fantastic. I 've been detecting about 6 yrs my dad got me started. He was my detecting buddy. He passed last Sept so now I'm on my own although did get my brother out one day. I figured real quick you know what your talking about thats why I ask you about pipe. Thanks sooo much for ID's.

Pipes I don't get whole too often. But my brother I took out once & he fell alsleep on a stubble field, so that was the end of that!
