Wendover Wanderer I wonder if this explains your round disc object. They are called Bi Discs and have been around for at least 3,000 years, Originally made of Jade later ones were made of Bronze and Copper. They were usually buried for luck for safe passage on a journey or Perilous crossings of Rivers and ravines. The metal discs are from around the early 1900,s which would seem about right for the age of your disc. If it is not one of these I have not got a clue as I spent the best part of an hour looking for similar type objects and it is all I can find that is close in size and shape and decorative style.

Thanks to the team for another great rally  Grin

Here are my silvers straightened and cleaned as much as is feasible.

Sorry pics are a bit rubbish.

Interestingly, although I didn't find a Joey, the two milled silvers I did find - USA Half Dime 1856 and Canada Five Cents 1885 are both almost exactly the same size as a Joey.

The hammered are Edward I Canterbury mint penny and Edward III York mint penny.

Well done Peter you have done a great job on the hammered coins. You must have the patience of a saint.

Great day out yesterday - blue sky and sunshine, no "big" finds came my way, but a silver sixpence is always a welcome addition to the collection.  PeterH had an "embarrassment" of silver = well done Doc  Grin
Nice to meet you Eric  Wink  Had a good chat with Casa Dos and Anne - always nice to catch up  Smiley
Looking forward to the next rally.
