Them were the days

What a feeling it was, going home with this in your pocket.

yes

But £2 15/9?

not a lot for a weeks work

if you got them coins in 1970 it was a right bonus in yer pocket because of the silver content!

6/4 yer cash if I remember right.

70-74 were good years for silver coin finders,
pre 1920 coins worth even more.....21-46 were 50%
silver. so were going for about 6 times face value

that note looks like a jb page so 1970-78?

thrupenny bit legal until mid 1971 !

I thought it earlier.  Late supper, will check later.

25 1/4 hours worked!
Was he/she on a 3 day week?
2/- an hour seems a bit low even for 1970

Magnified it and it does look like his signature.
The only Paige note I've got is from 78.
That note pictured as you'll know was first issued in 1960.

That why I thought it earlier mmm.
Seemed like a wage from the mid 60s.

could be a real pay packet, with notes and coins put in to make
a good picture of course.

It was great days. I worked for the civil service and they rounded up to the nearest 10/-.
Was on £4 odds but every 3rd week I got £4 10/-. what a week that was
