Default Any Idea What This Could Be?

I was detecting a field yesterday in Connecticut, part of 174 acres I will try and detect..

It's copper, the size is between a nickel and a quarter. The back is smooth..

Default What Is It?

I am ALMOST POSITIVE that your find is an 18th Century English Provincial "CONDER" or "CONDOR" Token. I am still in the process of checking it out to see if this is indeed what your item is. I will try to let you know soon and in the meantime you may want to do some research on your own also....PAPPY

Thank You Pappy...

Trust me I have been researching and traveling around the state and the last stop is a museum that wants to see it..

Its frustrating lol... I should have left it buried :)


I just picked up 3 foundations to hunt that date back to the 1700's and I am going to try and hit them next week as long as our latest bout of white stuff goes away.

I'll keep you informed on what I find out as well.

Still checking Pappy...

So far no one has a clue or taking a guess here and there... Its like its never been seen before lol... Its frustrating... I am going to go back and check the spot I dug it up and see if anything else is there... I was told it could be part of a pendant for a challenge coin or even something satanic...

It being 3 teired has me thinking it was part of a pendant or necklace...

Couple days ago... I sent it to a site on the net that deals with Condor tokens and I recieved an email this morning and they have no idea but he said it looked French


I think I should rebury it and let some other MDetectorist find it
