We've been finding some fascinating artifacts while digging in some very deep clay to install a new drainage system around our house. Yesterday's finds include this etched metal medallion. Can anyone help us figure out what it is?
For background, the house is 80 years old and was built on the site of a Union army bivouac. It's got some cool US history.
@colo_lee
It's 3.25" across, and a few millimeters thick
@DrTCombs Cool. It's actually fairly large. You're lucky!
@DrTCombs The symbols are widespread across Asia so it certainly could be Korean. But I'd guess Chinese based on the seal script in the backside.
How big is it? Just wondering.
What a cool thing to find!
