Found today at a park near the ocean - Looks Colonial - Any ideas?
It is 2 1/2 inches tall by 2 inches wide and is like a roll of quarters in weight. It has a large hole in the center with smaller holes around the edge that do not go all the way through.

Any help with ID would be greatly appreciated.

From the shape of it (only a wild guess), but it looks like a shoe or boot heel.
