I’ve seen this from somewhere anybody have any idea what it is?

Very cool on the marble. That would be neat to find one. I can't help you on the "what's it." It does look familiar, though.

That is a Collar Stud. They used them to attach the old time collars to shirts. I have found a number of them at ghost towns in my area. It can be an indicator of the age of a site, and is a good find.

Seriously spoiled you are then. Digging in the soils in these parts I don't get any-then maybe nobody had any of them to loose in the first place.

Well done truth on the marble and what looks like part of a stud-small little thing-shows that you're on the game getting wee things like that.

We used to find them in neighborhood gardens as kids. I dug a circa 1915 bottle dump where someone must have thrown a bag of them out. Got several dozen out of there. Can think of at least two that showed up while digging targets this year, including one large shooter.

Hey pepper I’ve gotten pretty lucky with clay marbles it’s from every plug I dig I check every target and while doing that that’s more odds of me eyeballing a marble.

I like the marble as well...I have found lots of marbles over the years but never a clay one.

Congratulations on the find...at least you did not get skunked

Ammoman I was so close to getting skunked I mean all I had to show for all my efforts was a huge pouch of pull tabs and bent nails So while I was cleaning out my plug of all iron signals I saw it put it in my pocket and got the hell out of there lol

You're welcome my friend! The ones shown on the Wiki site are pretty fancy ones, the ones I find around here look exactly like yours. They were made of brass and were likely polished up to look nice and shiny. 1880's to 19teens timeframe I'm guessing.
