Found a button at the 1820’s property.

Not sure what it’s made of. Outside the hole it hits at a 14 in the ground it was all over the place worst target ever. I’m glad I’m outta my mind because nobody in their right mind would’ve dug it. Thought it was lead but I wiped it off when I got home and say the floral pattern then realized the 2 holes. I’m thinking think nickel at a 14 maybe. Got some weight to it. Any opinions?

You'd almost have to do a test to see if it's silver or not. My first thought is that it had a shank which broke off, and they drilled the two holes in it.

I’m sure silver would have rang up higher sometimes my war nickels ring up at a 14 on the Equinox. I’ll test it anyway.
