    BTW, whatever's on the fence appears different on one side than the other......the image isn't clear enough to define it though!!! IMHO!!!!

    Looks like a garden lattice with a design at the top.

    It does.
    Could it be some kind of love symbolism?

    That’s the same as the button in the ad. As @Jivvy suggested, it could be the tops of two buttons welded or glued together. It leans towards that, due to the 2 curvatures on yours.

    It seems to heavy to be even two buttons together unless they fill
    Middle with something?

    Possibly filled, maybe that’s how they are adhered, but that’s just a possibility..feel free to explore other possibilities. If you find something, give us an update. :)

    Yeah I’ll defiantly keep everyone updated, few people have said military tokens? But i think you’s could be right though, I’ll see what I can find, I’ve got loads of coins from 1800’s I need to do proper research for, thanks for everyone’s help

    Agree, looks like two of those buttons were disassembled, each filled with molten lead or solder while face-down, then the backs were glued together. That’s the way I’d have made it anyway, if someone paid me enough to make me do it.

    Always good to have your confirmation, I know very little about metalworking. :)

    You could find out more if you took a sharp knife and pressed down carefully (don’t cut fingers!) on the line between the two halves. There’s a small chance there’s something valuable inside, and a big chance whatever’s in there is worthless.
