    Found this copper token while Metal detecting near an old cellar hole. I also found an 1838 Large cent. It's looks like copper, weighs 3.37 grams and is about the size of a Nickel but thinner. It also, as you can see has denticles around it.
    The location was down an old dirt road with two cellar holes nearby is an old farm field.
    Also found is this Button.
    What do you all think it might be?

    It very well could be a picker token. Picker tokens with only initials and maybe a number were used very widely in the northeast. Usually they're almost impossible to attribute unless they were acquired from the original owner(s).

    If you don't mind sharing the exact location (maybe through private messaging), I might be able to attribute it using genealogy websites, old maps and the U.S. Census records.

    The token looks to be a merchant piece or more likely an arcade token. No value on it but arcade tokens don't always need such. Not much information to go on trying to attributing it. Good luck.
