i found this with the T2 when i first got it.Nobody can seem to tell what it is.
It appears to be solid silver.Its smaller than a dime...
The carvings on it appear to be the footprints of a person,horse,wolf and other strange carvings.
Some people suggest it could be a ancient native american coin.Or a stamp that you dip in wax.Anyone???
 
You may want to send the photos to some ancient coin dealers, which you can find by doing a search on the web.
 
Start looking through ancient coin records. UK Celtic coins depicted wolves, horses and people on the coinage. Have a look here.

Are you sure it isn't lead? I have found many pieces of spilled lead from when people where making musket balls by pouring molten lead into ball molds and they spilled some. The lead lands on little pebbles and sticks and gets all kinds of lines and pits in it.

Also where was it found (just general location)? That might provide a clue.
 
Lead usually comes out of the ground with a whitish/tan coat on it.This is solid silver and you can clearly see all of the footprints of different things on it.
Its strange and rare??interesting find i must say
