✅ SOLVED One sided silver coin?

[afxtwin]

Found this while detecting the beach. Was very cruddy and I thought it was a nickel at first. Cleaned it and got this. Rings a solid 65 on AT-Pro. It does not stick to magnets. Any ideas? Looks very interesting

edit: seems to be lead. put a soldering iron to it and it started melting.

edit 2: going to mark this as solved because it most likely is a lead pendant or seal. maybe somebody was learning to cast with lead. who knows. wish i knew how to tell it's age. thanks for the help guys!

My guess is that it is a silver pendant since the back side is slick. Could be 30 years old or 230 years old, hard to say unless someone can recognize the pattern. Nice find, looks cool!

65 on the ATP? Isn't that low for silver?

It is as big as that nickel, and thick, if it were silver, wouldn't it ring up higher?

All questions, nor answers, sorry...

Yah it is low. But I’ve seen people post that silver rung in 60s on the ATP. I’ll have to do a precious metal test later today.

I don't have an AtPro but the TID sounds more like it's in the pewter range.

Jitnshoukd weigh a bit more for it to be silver.

It appears larger than the nickel. And a nickel weighs 5 grams. I would expect that to be well over 5 grams

Lead rings up in that range.Most of the fishing weights I find ring up in the 60's

COOL FIND

I would guess it's Most likely a lead seal

I would guess it's Most likely a lead seal

that's a really good suggestion, but its bottom isn't completely flat and it doesn't show a stamp border on the design side like other seals i've seen. it looks like a pour into a cast
