Was setting up a deer stand and when I got done brought out the machine for a quick hunt. Had a solid copper signal after a bunch of trash and found this ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1476916063.896319.jpg
Needless to say I was psyched when I saw liberty. But it felt light

I kinda like that one better than the real deal, maybe a form for counterfeiters. Pretty awesome if you ask me.

Looks like it might of been a lid off of something but not sure. Interesting for sure.

If you place a piece of foil over a coin that has raised details and gently rub an eraser over it. You may be able to press the details of the coin onto the foil. That is what that target looks like. The details of a coin pressed into a heavy piece of foil.
Congrats on a cool find.

Could it be an impression made from the actual coin by putting the coin and a softer metal in a press? Can you tell what the metal is?

I have found two counterfeit seated coins, I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't for making counterfeits?

Now if you could only find the reverse you'd be in business!
