coin + other item

[FinderFind]

Hello All,

been finding some interesting items, but cannot ID many of them,
got my first (probably) very old coin, but I cannot tell what it is,

I have cleaned it up the best I can, its very worn but if anyone has any ideas,
its a bit bigger than a modern 2p coin, I think its bronze, fairly thin.
I know its not an amazing find, but being my first old coin I would really
like to know when it comes from.

I cannot make out anything at all on one side, but on the first picture I can see
some text at the top, looks like an R, a G and IV at the top (maybe LV). not
sure on anything else, any guess is welcome.

second item I think may be an old watch key but i'm not sure?.
its about an inch tall, I think it may be made of gold
(but I could be wrong), looks like a lion on one side and a horse.
on the other side it says wood ruff high st, roat? some letters I cannot make out
anyone know possible date or can confirm what it is?.

Thanks

second item looks like a clock winder..

watch key is superb.

well done on both finds.

Dunno whether this helps or not.....If the legend on the key is possibly
High St. Margate then there are two clock/watch restorers named Woodruff
in the Margate area and another in Dover. Like other trades watch and clock making tends to run in families over many generations.
On the other hand if it doesn't say Margate then I'm wasting my time!!

Looks like you've got it all wound up OJ.......

Hi All,

Thanks, I think you could be right, might be margate!.

I think it could be gold, but not sure.

Thanks again

Hello,

it's probably not solid gold as you say.

Thanks.
