Hello

I wonder if you can help me? I found this about a foot down in Hampshire, Southern England. I've only given an overnight dip in olive oil and a light clean with a tooth brush. Is it a coin? Any ideas what it is? Its about 1cm diameter.

Thank you

Winto

It doesn't have the typical greenish hue of an uncleaned copper/bronze coin, so I'm guessing it's made of lead. If so, then it's a token or seal of some kind, not a coin.

Big thanks to both of you! Hopefully when I get my own detector I'll be able to scan it to find out what its made of.
