Brass piece with heart

[Stealth digger]

Hey everyone, I found this in a reclaimed field where I have pulled relics from the 1800's out of . Has anybody seen one of these ?

Nice ! That's dead on. Thanks so much. I am shocked that the surface is not in worse shape considering its purpose.
You guys are the best.
