They are relatively modern finds - I have a full set of the threepenny bits - not from detecting though.
Keep on trying
good luck

...not much detail to go on there, leelad! But if that's a thru'penny piece next to the coin in the top picture then it's obviously quite small. Could be a 'silver' three pence. They were generally round, rather than angled.

Recommend you put a ruler below any objects you photograph to help indicate the size. Either that, or place a more modern object like a fifty pence piece or pound coin next to them for the sake of comparison. camera

King George died 52/53 so the badge will be from pre that year. Looks like a general service badge I think. Probably before the Service Corps got its Royal prefix, whenever that was. RASC (Run Away Someones Coming)

The ASC became RASC in 1918, so the Cap Badge would be from George V not George VI, and would be dated between 1910 and 1918.

EDIT: However it has got the word Royal on the left and so could be either George V or George VI

The cap badge is RASC which would be dated later than 1919, during WW1 and to 1919 the ASC cap badge was of solid design with ASC in the middle of it, the cap badge above was used during WW2.
