I dug this at an old dump today and immediately knew I had something good. It is 2 copper circles with pictures of 2 people who appear to be wearing colonial style clothing. The two circles are linked together with a 2 copper links. My first thought was maybe it was the king and queen of England at some point in time but I'm not sure if the figure on the left is a guy or girl haha! I hope someone can get me an ID on this because I'm dying to know what it is and I think it could possibly be a very historical find. Thanks for looking and HH!

After seeing the other items you found at that dump I'd say this thing is more likely from the same time era, 1940s-1980s. That bosco pump cap was really recent, and the bottles are not that old.

The thing that makes me think its older is I have found various victorian pieces of pottery including the bottom of a vase dated 1835. Although most of the artifacts in the dump aren't that old, I think I may have found one of the older items. I completely understand your reasoning though.

It kind of looks like it might be from a fraternal organization costume, like the Knights of Columbus.

The guy on the right could be Francis Drake.
