I want to the historic district in my town and I saw where they tore down a house so I did some research and it was from 1885 but the house was beautiful no idea why they tore it down. So I brought my orange cones and I wore my reflector vest it?s a snooty part of town so I like looking like I?m an adjuster. With the temperatures hitting 107 today I knew it wouldn?t be a long hunt. I got a 1964 silver Washington a silver ring with a G in the middle, All spoon no silver a marble and a piece of patriotic history that has stumped pretty much everyone in the ?What is it?? section. I only metal detect it for an hour because the heat was unbearable I got a high 34-36 on the 800 and I figured it was a pipe from the house but it was very deep and some of the pipes I had seen warrant that deep so it kept me digging at about 14 inches I got this round brass piece. I saw the shield and started freaking out it has Lady Liberty a shield, stars and a floral design going all around it. Not sure what the back is and I think it?s 1884 with two arrows on each side. AARC Looked at it and gave it a great complement saying ?not everything grabs my attention but this had has my total attention.? So at this point it is still a unknown but we?re working on it. Let me know
what you think
P.S. Please go to Big brass round piece with shields and stars on ?What is it? and read and look at everything and leave a comment here. I don?t know what it is but it?s something real real real real real good lol [emoji1317]

Now I am seeing numerous numbers where the date would seem to be....too many to be a date. Maybe my eyes are just bad?
 

Nice!!!! Cool Piece!!! Congrats!!!
 

Really a nice find truth! Read your posting and comments on the what is it forum. No I don't understand why they would tear down that cute house that appears to have been in well kept condition.

Once again congrats on a rare find.
