Hello everyone...This site is great and has helped me many times with all the info and great options on here...I have been viewing this site for a few years now and haven't joined until now because I need yalls help with the strangest thing I have found to date...
I live in East central indiana... Spend my time when not working metal detecting, arrowheadhunting,fishing, gold prospecting,hunting and collecting mushrooms and other wild edibles
This item really has me stumped
It was found at a old Zion church site that has been demolished many years ago (40 plus years ago) and is now a corn field... I would date the site from around 1860 or so from some of the items I have found there....
I think it is made of copper... Could be brass or bronze... Not sure how to tell the difference
The weird thing is the Egyptian hieroglyphics on it... Different on each side... And the detail work suggest that it was special
It was obviously meant to be viewed on both sides...
Could it be some kind of good luck charm
Could it be freemason... I found 2 years ago a brass dagger handle that clearly had freemasonry symbols on it from abandoned school house less than 1 mile from this site that dates from the same time-frame
Could it be from the lost tribes of Egypt here in Indiana (just joking around about that one LOL)
Any insight on this object would be great... And thank you for your time
