shadyboggs New Member 2 Posts	Posted 03/26/2019 6:48 pm A friend dug this up years ago in an old part of town. Its double sided, same image on each side. Nearly 1/4 inch thick. Located in southern Ohio in a town that can date back to the 1700s. Any help appreciated. Edited by shadyboggs 03/26/2019 6:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff

alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 03/27/2019 08:20 am Mine has the two holes top and bottom with what looks like the remains of fibre (string?) in them, making me think it's a seal. But I'm an ocean away from you, so what kind of organisation would have used such big and important seals? I'm thinking that it must be the Church. Report this Post to the Staff
