Since we haven't heard from GatorBoy, I'll chime. looks to be a small denomination silver Cob, or maybe part of a larger one, from the Mexico mint, first established in 1535, and producing these crude 'Caba de Barras' up to the 1770s.
A bar of silver was simply cut into slices of the approximate weight, these sliver planchets were then hammer struck between crude dies, and clipped down to exact weight.
IMO, one of the finest finds.

That is AMAZING!!!!!!

And I can definitely say that it did not sound like a pulltab, then again maybe it's a fake.
A genuine one will sound like the thick lump of silver that it is

Here's an odd one.

I always find bullets, shell casings, and axe heads at schools. Only one nail ever at a school. But I agree its best to clean these up! I like 462's tab

Hang on to a handful of the sharp objects including the broken glass to keep in your trash pocket. I have run into a couple city park rangers that showed an iffy attitude. When I showed them the handful of harmful objects their attitudes did a complete 180. One even gave me his card in case I "ran into any trouble" Sometimes that trash can be a tool!

Do you want some more? I could really hook you up with hundreds, free of charge. LOL

Are these hundreds adorned with the 'aluminum'' stamp?

OT, but this precursor to twist off bottle caps is interesting.
I dubbed it the thumb flipper.
