Title: Re: Help on ID Post by: waltonbasinman on June 28, 2009, 03:31:30 PM Dave that is a excellent photo mate. Have no idea though. Could it perhaps not be a coin as we would use them and maybe a commemerative type coin or part of a medal or jewellery piece and this fell out. Will have a look for you see if I come up with a idea.
