Dug this a week or 2 ago..was very deep.. it has "Lydia Pygen 1694" engraved on it ..its not magnetic so maybe its silver? .....
I posted it on another forum , and we came up with it being a name plate on a portrait is the best guess , the thing is a person pointed out her family was documented in a book.. i think it is pretty neat ..
They also posted about her coming to new london, which is exactly where i dug this...i will post the links below some of you may find this interesting..
Thanks for the looks

Googling the name I found the below, maybe a typo on the last name through the records, but seems close all things considered.
Lydia PYGAN of New London, Conn.
married Eliphalet ADAMS 1709/12/15
# referred to in Colonial Families of the United States of America, Volume 2, page 714: one Joseph Trumann settled in New London in 1666 and purchased some pits for tanning from Alexander PIGGIN in 1667. An additional reference to this is in the Hamilton HURD History of New London County, Connecticut.
Here's the full link, her name is bottom of the first major section
