	My first gold? « on: December 19, 2011, 12:04:50 AM »

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

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.
