That's an interesting piece. There's something there...maybe someone can match the design...found in an area with the Franklin?

"...DEI..." Maybe?
That baby sure is crusted!!

Is it to far gone for electrolysis? Nothing to lose I suppose...the other half may be close by.

Not entirely crust, seems like the silver/metal is protruding from it, wierd, hopefully someone recognizes that "E"

Tried looking for other half, got nervous that i had split it but it was an old break. I did git it a little baking soda, tin foil, boiling water bath.

If diameter is 39mm, it could be part of an 8R Mexican coin.

That thing, whatever it really is, looks like it got very hot in a fire. Good luck with the ID...
