Super coin, well found David.   The brooch is only 'costume' jewellery, probably early 1900's.  the stones are probably glass repro. rubies and if real would have been cut differently and never set it base metal.

Real one next time  Wink

Great finds. The first groat is Henry VI annulet issue, Calais mint and the second is Edward III London mint.

The first hammered is a York mint penny.

As already said, the brooch is Victorian at best.

David, one advantage of being old, and Granny reared, I can remember some of the things we are digging up actually  being used  Shocked Roll Eyes

Unbelievably my Gran was born 1895, while Victoria was still the Queen. Even I find that hard to believe. Cry
