About the size of a penny. Looks like copper. has a shield type stamping on one side. At what I call the top there is like pleated stamp. Have at it.... . i thought about straightening it out.

Your find is the torn-off jacket of a (fired) copper-jacketed lead bullet.

If you look closely, you can see rifling-marks on it, made by the gunbarrel, below the groove filled with tiny parallel ridges (known as a "reeded groove" on bullets).

Its the copper jacket off of a jacketed bullet. You can see the marks left by the guns rifling. You can also see the canular (a groove that goes around the bullet to crimp the brass casing into).
