Happy Birthday to me!

My odometer flipped to 50 today, took the day off. My dear neighbors allowed me to metal detect their recently acquired vacant lot.

Mostly junk, a few old toy cars, but I started my adventure with this beauty:


Have you ever seen one like that? I'm guessing a button. I think a tad larger than a half dollar.

Haven't been out in a while, I enjoyed it. I hope you are all well.

Interesting object, especially with the guitar/violin design. The attachment on the back does not look like a button shank, but there is still a lot of dirt on it. Maybe some type of badge or pin. Clean it up and add nice close ups of front and back to your post.

Happy 50th! You’re now an official GIT member. It’s a great club, with no dues, because you’ve already paid them. Oh...I should tell you that GIT is Geezer In Training

Thanks! I'm giving it a distilled water bath now, dirt is still falling off it. It is barely smaller than an Ike Dollar. I'll post pics soon.

Updated photos



Here are the updated photos. I didn't find the half or the Ike, those are for size comparison. Soaked the object in distilled water for a few hours. Thanks all for the kind words and birthday wishes

Doesn't look button like to me. I think I can only see 1 scar around the edge for an attachment, so maybe a hat pin??
