weight or coin type thing??

[rich12355]

Went detecting the other week, Found a lot of WW2 items!

This also came up! Not sure what it is? Could anyone help? Thanks!



The numbering says : 3/16

and the lettering says: C.A.V

If it's lead it'll be a bag seal of some sort.
3/16 may mean bag No.3 of 16.
Not much help I'm afraid! Sorry.

[rich12355]

I dont think its lead,

[Old Jeffers]

Does it by any chance weigh 3 ounces?
Don't have any idea really but I'm sure someone may know.
What sort of size is it?

[rich12355]

I weighed it.. thinking it might, but it weighed less than 1 :S

its slightly bigger than a £2 coin, but as thin as a modern 2pence piece. maybe a little bit thicker.

thanks for all your help so far!

[Old Jeffers]

Maybe another photo next to a £2 coin and both sides.
Is it magnetic? I assume its less than 3/16 inch thick.

What does it say beneath the 3/16 mark,it looks like gas!.Maybe that will shine some light on it.Maybe a token of some description.

[Old Jeffers]

It's CAV, Adrian. Rich mentioned that in the first post. Token sounds quite likely...
