OK, I'm still not sure what I found. I was thinking token because it's mighty thin for a coin.The letters at the bottom are L G L R on the other side in the middle in a circle from what I can see look like HONI . SOIT . OVI MAL .Y. PENSE what the heck this means I havent a clue. Ok you fellas's from England this is one of your creations now tell me what I found . Is it a coin, token, jetton, worth anything?? I also dug a KG copper dated 1742 many early flat buttons and a rev war USA Pewter button.The owner of the property said the original house ( we were on it ) was built in the late 1600's so it was there for a very long time. I think the British burnt the place during the rev war as it was just outside Charleston and obviously had American soldiers there at one time or another.Me and a bud loaded the landowner up with lots of early colonial buttons, buckles and such. He showed the stuff to someone he knew who knew an archeologist. The archy asked him why he let us hunt the spot and then said they needed to have a dig there. Long story short even though the owner told us after the first trip we were more than welcome to come back, after his talk with the archy we lost that site. He told us the archy's now wanted to excavate it. Hell had we not located it on the mans property in the first place they'd of never known about it!! Oh well maybe next time the landowner won't know an archy and I still dug a few very nice artifacts :laughing7:

Good News, found it. 1663-85 (its an oldie :icon_thumright: )

English style Jeton made in Nuremberg GERMANY.

LGLR seems to be short for Lazarus Gottlieb Laufer (R = Rechen Pfening)- Jeton maker 1663-1709 :hello: So Jeton of Laza. Gottl. Lavff.
