Hey, thanks for help on ID ing this token , I would say it is brass as it was reading 78~83 on my Tesoro ,all my coppers read 95
Heading back there now ~ will post later if I find any others ~~~

Possibly, but I have had some similar Canadian tokens that were copper and read very low. For a long time I thought I had some rare ones because the type I had was only struck in copper, but finally I was so fed up with not knowing I scratched the edge and sure enough both were copper. It was amazing how low the reading was, and since then i've always thought of the detector as a good guideline, but it can definitely fool you.

In dug condition it really doesn't matter which it is. They're not very valuable coins.
 

Looks like your onto some great hunts in the future. Great finds.
 

You mopped it up! was just on Cape...snagged a nice 1737 2 Reale in Falmouth. Gotta love the old Cape n' islands!
