While hunting a new spot I found this today and it sure got my heart pumping! It measures 1-17/32.
It sounded like a dime but really loud! It was about two inches down and I have only rinsed it with water.
At first I thought I was going to have to post it in the What Is It Forum, but after about 20 minutes I found some info on it.
Now every place I found info on it there was always some speculation, however, this info seem to be the best:

"…it isn't a coin, it's an occultic/spiritualist/kabbalistic healing charm. The design of the star-side is taken from the "Keys of Solomon", a medieval Kabbalistic (Jewish-derived esoteric teachings) text. See here for an English version of the text, with a translation of what the inscriptions are supposed to read.
The particular lettering around the star is a mystic/occult magic symbol derived from Kabbalistic traditions, called the "second pentacle of Mars".
The reason even Hebrew scholars are having trouble reading the inscriptions on these objects is that the design is a copy of a copy of a copy; errors have crept into the transcriptions and it no longer says what the original pentacle says."

In addition, from what I've read it is made form lead free pewter.
Now I cant vouch for the info and if anyone knows more about this please chime in.

Either way I am really happy with this find. 8-)

As I was reading, I remembered a book I recently purchased and sure enough many of these symbols are in the book as well. The book is called Sign Language of the Soul.

Interesting find.

I have found the same token. A lady friend at work said she talked to a rabbi and said it was a kabbalistic amulet. Some sort of healing, good luck charm, kind of like the St. Christopher.
But mine is identical and took it to a coin shop and the guy there told me it was silver.

No one at all has this coin? That's very unfortunate, I was really looking forward to purchasing this one from a hunter.

Still if anyone reads this that has this coin, I'd still love to purchase it. Thank you.
