old button

[Discrimination Dave]

I think I found a really old button. this little park is the site of an old battle here in Osaka (way older than anything I have found) and the only place Ive done any real good at all MDing here in Japan. i have pulled a 120 year old coin and an 80 year old coin from this site. I have a feeling about this button that I pulled out of there today. Has the five leaf cherry blossom on it, is super heavy for its size. these are the pre cleaned pictures. I think it is lead and copper or something. If anyone knows...what are the chances?, anyway I had a fun hunt today.

Thanks Ma,
It`s pretty much hand to mouth around these parts.
(but my wife was not impressed).
I`ll keep swinging. One of these days Ill find something that she knows how to measure.

Right on Pleh-man,
I`m hearing you brogan.

Maybe I`ll post it on What is It.
But it still aint that much for all you state side treasure mongers.
