Have at it Whatsit hounds!

I have some ideas....could be way off. Came from a cellar hole, house hasn't been there since the 1930's or so. Was a farmhouse, there is a nice size barn foundation within eyesight through the woods. Any ideas? It is exactly 1/2 inch across and has a cute little square hole in the center. "PAT MAR 10 1868" and nothing discernible on the other side. Nice reeded edge. Hope that is a good enough of a description.....
