I have had hours of fun hunting in this park which dates back to 1850, which is 'old'
for this part of the world. Here are my latest finds.......
A toy cannon. Hence the title of the post. No idea of age but I like it a lot.

My oldest penny. 1863.

An old no date sixpence. Pretty neat because it is worn smooth. Can see an early Victoria head.

NZ forces military buttons. I have no idea of the date of these.

A heavy silver and enamel ring. No marks but it looks old.

Very Nice Finds, especially the brass cannon. I found mine last year in a Colonial Camp on the Washington-Rochambeau trail:

Yeah...You Yanks came over and took our women, and left us a few coins :laughing9:

(Gingerly pushes 'Post' with a long stick and waits to see who gets the joke) :tongue3:

During WWII in England our solders we called " Over here, overpaid, and over sexed". :laughing7:
 

even today --if a american fellow goes to aussie land -- most likely he'll have several women "availble" in short order

seems aussie women like american men :icon_thumright:

yes i know that aussie land and NZ are not one in the same :laughing7:
 

Looks like you had a blast! CONGRATS!!! :icon_thumleft:
