lol lol I found this some time ago and now I'm interested in only what the heck it is. It's made out of lead and the size of a quarter.There's nothing on the back. Wax seal?

Could br a gaming chip, or maybe a trial strike from a button mold. If it was a lead seal I would think it would have some holes in the side for wires? Just some uneducated guesses though lol

Hey Sal. it's only been one day lol People have stuff to doOriginally Posted by sjv
But it is exciting since that is really old writing on it. My guess early 1800's. (at the latest) Possibly Rev war, but just a hunch.

My guess would be a measuring weight as well.
For every relic that rots away........a piece of history is lost.
Hey Dan, I don't think that's a '1' in front of the B. It looks like that line is part of the B to me (you know... a fancy letter B drawn in outline form).
Yes, I know. That was really helpful informationlol
It could be almost anything. I tried to google it but it's hard to google something when you don't know what to call it
Minelab E-Trac/Sun Ray X-1 -- Minelab Sovereign GT/Sun Ray S-1 -- White's v3i/Sun Ray DX-1
Fisher CZ3D -- Tesoro Tiger Shark -- Garrett ACE 250
yea I think its just a B. I cleaned it up a little and it's definitely lead.

Interesting... but if no wires, I just cannot think of a use for it. Lead seals always have a way to attache the wires. RickO

It looks like a button with the letter B on it, probably the first letter of the family last name.

Hi this is my first reply/post |
I take it there`s not a lot Drinkers here ,huh. IT really looks to me like a Salon Token .I forget exactly how they were valued , I think that when the cattle drive was finished, They could get a percentage of there payroll in tokes or maybe bonuses .I `m sure the locality`s all differed. Kinda like the drink paper tokes Casinos use today.
Go to THAT site That HAS anything an everything for sell . I perty sure thats where I came across em at.
Thats what we call here a discwaight.(in dutch a schijfgewicht).
The B is a simple stamp.16,17 OR 1800.
Hard to tell,ik think late 1700.
I have four of them.
Here is a link.
