Is it a coin? Is it a button? Metal detecting find....

Hi Folks,

As some of you might have seen from previous posts I'm sorting through a collection of my late father's coins.

The other day I came across this 'bit of metal' it wasn't with any of his coins (not that they were all in one place!) But I think judging by where I found it it was probably one of his metal detecting finds.

Was wondering if anyone could give me any pointer as to what it is from the shape (as there are no markings left to go off)

Thanks in advance :-)

Could be a coin weight given the shape, or just a weight for scales

Ah that makes sense! it weighs 22g so perhaps equivalent to 3/4th of an oz.

Thanks Rob!
