This is why I never throw away trash finds before closely examining them!

[West Jersey Detecting]

I went back to the site where I have continually found colonial artifacts and coins over the last few years. As I left, I was sure I got skunked. Not even an Indian Head!

As I was going through the trash I had found, I noticed the slight circular shape on this thin copper piece. I carefully brushed it and realized it is a keeper for sure. I have no idea what it is or it's age, but it is definitely old. It has a monogram on the top of the obverse, H.V.B. I cant tell for sure what the design on the reverse is, or what it means.

Does anyone have a clue what this object might be?

Nice research, chances are it did belong to Hannah.
