Hi All,
I was metal detecting in a dry stream bed in a local woods when I uncovered a pewter badge/plaque/plate with an image of what I think is a King with a subject kneeling (i.e. Royal Touch?). I had the metal analyzed and know that it is made of pewter. I have researched throughout the internet and sent out requests to various museums with not much luck. I will say that I have uncovered while metal detecting in these woods 18th, 19th & early 20th century coins/artifacts as well as some potential Indian trade metal items (i.e., hawks bell, metal point). Anyone that knows anything of what they think the artifact was part of or its potential date I welcome their thoughts.
