Copper alloy transport token with five roundels counterstamped on the reverse of a halfpenny of George III (1760-1820), dated to 1799 on the reverse. "Counterstamping of bronze coinage was outlawed by the 1853 Coinage Act following the industrial scale of Edward Lloyd's newspaper advertisements in the late 1840s" (Edward Besly pers comm). So the coin would have been used before this time, c.1799-1853. The five roundels suggest that the token might have been used as a gaming piece, but as it was found with another George III penny (CORN-5055E0) counterstamped with the words 'TO D…

Copper alloy transport token with the words: 'TO DOWNDERY' counterstamped on the reverse of a halfpenny of George III (1760-1820), dated to 1806 on the obverse. "Counterstamping of bronze coinage was outlawed by the 1853 Coinage Act following the industrial scale of Edward Lloyd's newspaper advertisements in the late 1840s" (Edward Besly pers comm). So the coin would have been used before this time, c.1806-1853. The place name probably refers to the Downderry that is not far from the findspot, in the parish of St. Stephen in Brannel, near St. Austell.

Incomplete sheet copper alloy clog or shoe clasp, waisted and double shield-shaped in plan, with a grooved border following the edge of the clasp. The clasp would have had a corresponding hasp with cut out sections to take the hooked part at the end.

Cast copper alloy weight, rectangular in plan and profile and section with a faint central circular stamp of a rose and crown and another rectangular stamp with a number ending in 7 on the upper face. The stamps would suggest a coin weight but the shape and size of the weight suggest that it may be an apothecary weight instead. If it is a coin weight, then it would have come from the Low Countries (Paul Withers pers comm). It weighs 26 g which almost equates to one ounce averdupois.
