Default nice penny

Hi everyone, haven't been posting lately as i have only been finding modern currency and i have shown you that a few times already.
Yesterday my friends Andy David and i went to a local spot which was used by the army a while back for training purposes and as you would expect we all found shell casings but in amongst them some interesting old coins turned up and a few modern ones as well.
Andy found a 1909 threepence plus modern coins David found a honey hole had 3 threepences a shilling and a penny in it though the dates on them were much later in the 1940's and i found a 1905 penny and also a honey hole which had modern currency in it plus the bullet casings which were blanks one was still unfired.

Cool finds! The rifle cartridge looks like the .303 British. The pistol cartridges are most likely .32... not sure on those.
