What is this? Found it in Bayonne, NJ under about 12" underneath huge Sycamore


It gave me a hell of a fight, it was beneath a root and I struggled for like 15-20mins I was not giving up, but no idea it definitely not a large cent

I too think it may have something to do with Susan B.Anthony - perhaps a suffragette button ?

I'm thinking it's some sort of applique off a woman's make-up container.

Broken part from a tongue and wreaths buckle? Just a guess.

Very nice. Hope someone can ID.

Looks like Bramble got it. Nice find.

Someone carved a large cent, looks like. I have one carved with hearts on it.

Congrats on the save and I also think Bramble nailed the ID.

Nice id!!

From the photos, it looks to be stamped copper rather than cast brass. Looks a bit thin to be a button to me, but, who knows?

could be part of a two piece button

Looks like Bramble got it. Nice find.

It sure does. Amazing.

Could it have been someone's seal. It was fitted in a watch fob stamp maybe.

Nice find, regardless. Probably a flipping coin or token of some kind. But your tenacity is admirable. I hand dug a 6 or 8 inch tree a while back until I could push it over to get under it. Was a large cent , worth it to me
