Is it gold?

[Seeker30]

I found something today and would like to find out what it is.I think It has some gold plating or something on it . I have a delta 4000 and it comes up on my machine as 5cents.

Looks like a crushed thimble?

Crushed thimble. Gold plating wearing thin. Have found a few over the years.
