✅ SOLVED Small copper stamped L & S

[Crispin]

Any idea where this tiny thing game from or what it is? FYI: the square on the right is Osmium. It does not react to platinum solution an is commonly used in battery connections.

Very interesting stuff. It would be a huge assistance to all of us T'Netter 'What Is It' researchers if you photograph your finds against a darker background, preferably in natural light and especially in focus.
By simply using a darkish blue cloth as a background, natural light
(or a couple of light sources from different angles - for example - a table lamp and a hand held torch)
For focus, nothing beats a tripod (I paid NZ$15 for mine - so about $8 USD)
If you want any more assistance, just PM me.

I intend sending this message to everyone who posts a What Is It pic with a white/light/kaleidoscope type background.

We'll get it right eventually.

Yeah, Right! - is a famous NZ saying.

Cheers, Mike

my first thought is that it is a stretched penny from a penny press, it looks to be to small though.
second thought: small id tag from something old. lots of stuff at the turn of the century had little plates attached to them.

yeah maybe some kind of identification tag

My guess. it looks like a part off a fishing spinner.

I think its a great ID because I see a fishing sinker also in the photo and what looks like a piece of pop top.. If this was found in saltwater, it would explain why the nickel plating has worn off.
