Greetings all, I may have found my first gold, but I would like some help identifying it.
I was at a Seattle park, after the monthly group hunt with Pilchuck Treasure Hunters club, when I found this item.
the 9999 implies that it is 24K Gold, but not a coin because there is no mint mark.
I thought it might be a zipper pull, but thought again, who would make a metal zipper pull and encase it in plastic.
It is about the size of a dime, and I should have included a dime for size reference.
I already ran a Google search with the picture, but found no matches.
There is a dragon on the side with the 9999, and on the other side, what looks like a lily.
Any comments would be welcome.
Thanks, Robroy59

You did well with that find Robroy!  Can't help with the ID, but it sure looks good.  Good luck finding out what it is.  Thanks for sharing!   Detecting

Thanks for the encouragement, I know of a coin dealer that might help with the ID.
I will keep you all informed of the results of the ID.  HH Robroy59

I suspect that it has something to do with commemorating the Year of the Dragon, which I think this year it.

Thanks Hendro, a definite possibility, confirmed by members of my local Treasure Hunting club and
a coin dealer who is a member.  It just might be a jewelry dongle because there appears to be a
spot on the edge where a loop might once have belonged.   HH Robroy59

If Gold is where you find it, then I need to start looking somewhere else.
