I really Need HELP!!

[Chizzy]

Went out early this morning and hunted a school that sits just below the tree line on the southern mountains of our little valley. Got a nice strong signal at 5" and dug a little piece of what appears to be pewter. It was in brown clay and the area immediately around the item was discolored with a powder of the same color as the item...........



I've done numerous searches:

Crown and Anchor coins/tokens. I don't believe it is either because there is nothing on the reverse.
Crown and Anchor seals, Crown and Anchor buttons, Revolutionary War and War of 1812 buttons.
I did find one design that was close.........a blazer button from Cork, but there was a rope around that anchor.

Any help with ID would be appreciated. Thanks to all.

That part of your State saw a lot of action in the Seven Years War, French & Indian War. Thousands of British soldiers from different units pounded through there on their way battle the French Catholics to the North. I would bark up that tree for a while, and see if anything growls. Great Find!

This is an excellent find! Bring it to a museum for testing. take lots of pictures and get yourself a chain of custody form and protect the artifact.

I don't have a clue, but glad you recovered this item and hope to get an ID on it soon.

Thanks for the tips, Terry. I hope you are right, but it's just not my luck to find anything of that age or era.

Very likely, Cru.......but, it does not have the high convex profile as the one that is from Cork.
