First post. I expect to be here more, due to my new hobby of metal detecting. I bought a metal detector today, went about a half mile into the woods near my home, where there's no trail or anything, and came across 3 coins that were about 5 or 6 inches into the ground. No luck finding them on Google. Found 2 of these: one side has two swords, the other side looks like a dragon.   Found 1 of these: one side looks like a shield, and the other is just lines.   Any ideas? Thanks in advance. |

 I can't be of any help on either of those. Neither look like coins. The first looks more like a button, but there is no hasp, so it can't be a button. Ill keep watching to see if anyone can help you with these. Good luck with your hunting. Be careful, though, treasure hunting can be highly addictive. |

Not every round flat piece of metal is a coin.

@Shane508, first welcome to CCF. Second, any chance you can post pics that are in focus a little better? I agree that they aren't likely coins, but rather tokens or something else.

Thanks people. And oriole, yeah, I should've specified that I'm not sure if this is a coin, especially since there's no visible denomination on it.
And yes, I'll try taking some better-focused pictures in a few minutes.

After getting a high quality photo, I now see that it looks to say "TD" on the bottom on both sides. I have spent a few hours researching and have found nothing; leading me to believe this is either extremely worthless, or extremely rare.   |

I did find a carwash token on Google that also has the same TD logo on it, so this is looking to be worthless, but still cool looking. As for the coin/token with the shield on it, I haven't figured out what that is yet.

TD almost certainly are the initials of the design artist and /or engraver.
