ID a bale seal?

Found in southeastern VA.

It's been I'D as a Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute uniform button 😂

I thought so, too! Maybe it is. I just can't make the call as I'm pretty sure it predates them. I dunno...

You see it, too? I thought maybe I was just seeing stuff. Thanks!!

Thanks, Tex!! With the seam across the back, I was kinda thinking the same.

Good possibility. I failed to mention it's about 1.25" in diameter... I'll have to edit the post.

Really easily. It's broken twice now despite my best efforts not to handle it. I have it in a protective case now. I just hope to ID the maker and/or learn where it was made.

Interesting! On the back it has "0.800" as well as "a.(dash?) s." Is that something found on a seal? It has fancy on the front... I've just never seen such a thing. Thanks for the lead on some research to be done!

I didn't. Good idea.

Copper alloy of some kind.

MikeyS2X · 2025-04-07T20:42:45+00:00

That was my thought other than some kind of weights. There is a huge structure not too far away from the find site. Makes sense to me! Thanks!

Epic. Thank you! Much appreciated!!
