Any information about this piece will be appreciated. Found about 5 inches deep in Eastern Pa. I believe there may be more than one cross on the back

Beat up though it is, it's a Catholic devotional item known as a "Miraculous Medal", the design for which was approved in 1836 but has been in use up to the present day.
