Colonial button? HELP!

[owena1]

Hey everyone,

I need some help figuring out what this is! It rang up as a coin but after cleaning it off it looks like it could be a button?? Can anyone help me out with this one? I found it in the same area as the colonial shoe buckle and musket balls. Looks like it may have a little design on it. Sounds like a coin when it's on the counter.

Thanks

To be perfectly honest, it just looks like a melted blob of metal to me. They often produce a nice signal.

Yep, looks like a glob of pewter or lead, possibly even copper? You would have to scratch it and find the base color and estimate how hard it it.

yes lead or pewter like DOD mentioned a small scratch test will tell you.
