Hey y'all,
Maybe I should have posted in 'What is it?' rather than coins, because I have no idea if this is even a coin, though I figured if it is a coin you'd be the guys to ask. But anyway, found this in Southern Ontario, 10 inches down around a baseball diamond that used to be farmed at least back to the 1850s. Nearby there was also a very old nail and a very old chunk of rust. I've attached 2 pictures. The super closeup view makes the coin look all convex and chunky but really to the naked eye it appears flat and like a coin. IT IS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A CANADIAN OR AMERICAN NICKEL
On the first picture, on the bottom right of the front of the coin (southeast if you imagine a compass) you can see what looks like some lettering. maybe a C or G and then maybe an I.
Maybe it's not a coin? Maybe a charm or an emblem of some sort? Anyway it looks old, and looks like it may have been caught by the plow a few times. It's all a mystery to me.
Can anyone help me figure out what this thing is?
Thank you and happy hunting,
John
