Found it New Mexico

Hello Everyone

I was using my cheap meddle detector when I found this. Its 1 1/4 diameter, I think its tin or copper not sure. Thin and kind sounds thin when you drop it. Has like a hinge or something above the harp like it was cut for something. Let me know just curious.

maybe the lid off a compact.......

In heraldic terms, you have three lions passant guardant in two quadrants, a lion rampant in another quadrant and a harp in the other. I dont know what it is maybe this will help search. I agree the notch probably was for a hinge.

If I were to guess the three lions passant guardant representing England, the one lion rampant representing Scotland, the harp representing Ireland. A quick search and here you go.

This however doesnt mean its official,. It may simply be a compact but maybe it helps.

Kinda small for a compact. Its about the size of my Gatorade cap. Maybe a pocket watch? ...or locket? ...or lid from an ink well? Does it look to have ever been gold plated?

It is the right size for a lid off a chatelaine compact.

1 1/4" sounds good for a tobacco pipe lid as well.Just another thought.
Take care,
