Here's a couple of finds from near Blackfriars bridge from the last couple of weeks, found during "lunch hour". I think the first is a token, the second a George3rd halfpenny that has been neatly cut in half. Has anyone come across this before? The last is a tiny rose farthing  Thanks for looking Dean       Deus lite

Good eyes Deano, well found, the smell of the Thames must be a bit off putting at times? Liam

Was you just "sittin' on the dock of a bay, watchin' the tide roll away" Oliver.   A  Only in it for the ££££'s
Dean, funnily enough, I found a Viccy penny on Tuesday that had been cut in the same way!
Have you tried cleaning that rose farthing? Mine was a bit grubby when I found it but it cleaned right up just with soap and water.
Millbank didnt see a lot of traffic until say the early 1800s as it was an uninhabited boggy marsh before then,
the land was reclaimed by thomas cubit who then filled in the marshy bog and built houses . so you wouldnt expect to make early finds there . i had numerous digs along that stretch and its just sticky mud after 12 inches ' hammys how i love ya, how i love ya my dear old hammys '
Found loads the river moves the finds from upstream.
