Can anyone identify the coin I found night hunting. Not a dime but about the size of a dime and thinner. Thanks for any help.

I think it could be a William McKinley presidential campaign collar stud. See this --

The writing I thought I saw on the reverse must be something else!

I do believe you are correct.

Would this thread be more appropriate in the What is it? section?

The image is a tad too blurry, try laying it on a flat surface for a pic.

Looks like a coin, I can see the obverse head & some writing on the reverse, no idea what coin it is, other than NOT British.

Given the size and condition I'd guess it's an Indian Head penny
