Got out for a hour today started scouting around other areas of my 1880s permission and this popped out! Not sure what it is so any ideas are appreciated. I am also looking for advice on cleaning in an attempt to get some of the dirt off? Looks pretty old to me, its hammered and slighlty off centered. I can make out a bust on the front and some lettering on the back.could be a button but is pretty heavy and thick for a button. Appreciate any feedback.
Looks like a Roman coin.
think your right,roman coin, and from what i can see on it it looks like a Constantin the great c. 272 AD – 337 AD).

I think it takes a European to sniff them out! :lol:Quote:

Thanks for the feedback when I popped it first thing that came to mind was roman!! Was kinda shaking:) But couldnt comprehend what it would be doing in the suburbs of philadelphia, turns out soldiers from WW1 and WW2 brought some back as souvenirs someone lost it and I am thankful to have it I will post another picture when I get around to cleaning and preserving it.
