Was setting up a deer stand and when I got done brought out the machine for a quick hunt. Had a solid copper signal after a bunch of trash and found this ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1476916063.896319.webp
Needless to say I was psyched when I saw liberty. But it felt light

Is this a button?

Hmmmm never saw one like that? Neat find though. Right era for sure.
 

Lot of junk in the ground around it. But the house dates to the late 1700's
 

I kinda like that one better than the real deal, maybe a form for counterfeiters. Pretty awesome if you ask me.
 

Bet we'll never see one of those again! What a unique find--real or not. Congrats. ~Lisa & John
 

Looks like it might of been a lid off of something but not sure. Interesting for sure.
 

If you place a piece of foil over a coin that has raised details and gently rub an eraser over it. You may be able to press the details of the coin onto the foil. That is what that target looks like. The details of a coin pressed into a heavy piece of foil.
Congrats on a cool find.
 

Could it be an impression made from the actual coin by putting the coin and a softer metal in a press? Can you tell what the metal is?
 

Really neat looking whatever.
 

I have found two counterfeit seated coins, I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't for making counterfeits?
 

Now if you could only find the reverse you'd be in business!
