Almost looks WW2??

I found it in a field with almost zero trash. I also found 3 minie balls and a sharps. It's a hunk of metal for sure. I think it's the official seal of army but I'm not sure. There is no writing. It's about the size and weight of a silver dollar. It rang a strong 99 on my detector. I thought for sure I had a plate or buckle

I believe you'll find that the Great Seal means that your find must be 1902 or sooner. I'll be interested to learn what it is exactly. Congrats on a nice recovery.

Agreed, circa mid-20th C.

Nice find and pretty large at that, even if not Civil War period.

That is the GREAT seal that the US Army went too in 1902

Thanks for the info. I thought it was civil war era. I guess it could be a service medal but .as mentioned before, it has no writing at all nor do I see where it could attach to a ribbon or anything else.

It could be a collar disc.

It's a Great Seal button or pin. Show us the back, to determine.

The top picture in my original post is the reverse. You can see the indenture. I would guess it was stamped. Like I said before, it's as heavy as a silver dollar . Let me know if you want a better picture and I'll try
