Found this nearby the same cellar hole where I found the "Barber Spill" (http://metaldetectingforum.com/showthread.php?t=248570) earlier this week.
This is a copper disc, 0.075" thick, 1.15" diameter, and "rings" like a coin when dropped on a hard surface. There are no recognizable markings that would identify it as a coin. One side (left image) is almost smooth with the hint of some worn, but unidentifiable,features when viewed in oblique light. The other side (right image) looks like it has been hammered with a chisel and in many instances, gouged out, rather than chiseled in. The three holes are pierced and more-or-less square-shaped -- as if pierced with an old square nail. The piercings appear to have been made from the same side as the chisel marks.
Any ideas????
