✅ SOLVED I don't even have a guess as to what this is...

Found at a site that was on the county atlas in the 1850s but not on the next. Some finds from the area include a navy button from the late 1820s, a hard times token, and some toasty largies. I think this is the second one of these that I have found and I believe I saw one in someone else's post recently but as far as what it is... I have no idea. Any thoughts on what it is or how old?

Thanks and happy hunting!
