Bookmarker?

[Woodland Detectors]

I was thinking that this may be a book marker. I found it about 4 inches deep hunting a site in NC. seems to be made of copper with white paint on the back and some gold type gilt on the front.

I was thinking maybe it's a book-binding tool ?

is that two pieces? inner and outer? does look like a book mark!
Nice find! I'm sure local libraries would be happy to find out if it is or not!
