1995 two bit piece. No, that's just being a smart azz. Is it heavy for it's size? Is your yard in an area where people have found gold in the past? Does it stick to a magnet? Is it hard or soft? In other words does it scratch easily? Is it silver under the scratch? Could be melted aluminum, lead, gold nugget etc. Need more info.
 
Soft, same inside, Evansville, IN. heard of Flour Gold in Southern IN. No stick on magnet, heavy for size, thinking maybe lead but dunno

Nice finds cbankston! Can't wait for someone to identify the unknown piece.
 
Could be light gold? Don't have much in that area, it would be a darker grey though typically with lead. I've started melting down all the scrap lead, and fishing weights into ingots to make new fishing weight for me! That's about all I can find for any use for scrap lead.

Hopefully its just gold though :goldbar::icon_thumleft::goldbar:
 
Anyway at home i can test lead? I was gonna get a gold testing kit for buying scrap jewelry but Swingings cheaper than buying bsgs full of costume jewerly and hoping ya mske your $$ back lol
