Wasn't expecting this

This I found in Richmond Hill, Georgia on a narrow patch of sand beach near an eroded hillside on a penninsula. Dug it out of a hole with a rivet. Didn't think much of it until my girlfriends father stated that U Georgia had been out there doing archeological digs on native americans. I thought, ok, get online and see what we can dig up. Found This info that would make me believe it is of the Middle Woodland subperiod, 300 B.C.?A.D. 600. Crazy, right? Here is the photo and some other evidence.
