I don't know what this is http://tnet.forumfoundry.com/forums/images/smilies/huh.gif . It was at a local school field about 4 inches deep had a strong +45 VDI on my Whites MXT PRO . It looks like a really old silver coin , but the VDI is not right for that . It is much heavier than aluminum and has the shine of silver . Looks like it says " Twenty Fifth Year West " on one side and the other side has a crown in the middle and the letters E B E L T A N ? Any help would be great http://tnet.forumfoundry.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif . It will probably end up being a fake that a kid brought to school http://tnet.forumfoundry.com/forums/images/smilies/laughing7.gif . Other finds were a 1948 wheat cent and a old Pine Wood Derby metal from the Boy Scouts . Total clad for two hours was $9.04 .

The word is Beltane.

Some sort of religious cult or something in your area:
