Hi everyone,
I am somewhat new to metal detecting and am having a hard time figuring out what I found. I found these two items at a site that was a town back in the late 1800's but disappeared shortly after the turn of the century and now is just a farm field filled with square nails and other iron. These items are exactly the same size with a square hole in the center, they are actually smaller than a half dime. Both have English writing on them but I cannot completely make out what they say. One registered at 34 (copper) on my Minelab and the other registered at 15 (Nickel).
The Copper one has a star on it and it does say ST AR on the top of it and has
H B& H on the bottom, but I am not quite sure if that is all it has, I may be missing some. There also has what appears to be a date on the back along with other numbers and letters. The date is 18_2. I can't make out the 3rd number. The darker one appears to be blank one one side with the other side having letters and numbers all around it. What appears to be a date on this says 185_, I can't make out the last number.
This place must have been an Indian village before the town started as we found numerous pieces of arrowheads along with this tiny beauty.
Anyway, can anyone help me out with what these might be? Sorry I cannot take better pictures.
