Coins and tokens are getting very hard to find in my normal go to property. But still by expanding the area we are collecting a few more relics with the odd coin thrown in. The area where I got an adze also produced both of these cricket buckles. They were mixed in with lots of rubbish. The George 3 half penny (1806/1807) is in the normal poor condition as the others I have found. The farthing was a surprise and in very hard ground at about 6" depth. It is also a George 3 and it appears to be the mid to late 1820s variety.

One of the other items of interest (to me) was the spur. I have found a few over the years but this is the first with the spur still attached. A small buckle was in the same hole. Buttons (including a triple gilt) and the thimble came from a close by location.
