Ok I found what i thought was a button, but after checking it. It feels more like a hammered coin. Only thing is it appears to be copper. It has a circular border a few mm's in from the edge of the coin and i can make out the characters R and * (star shape) on the border. There does not seem to be and solder mark on the back. I asked in chatroom last night was there any copper hammered around and someone said there was , and gave me the nameof them.....only thing is I cant remeber what they said Huh Grin. I have not included a pic yet as i dont believe I will pick out the detail with my scanner.

Think it looks like a token, the perfect circle in the centre may be a good indicator.
