Posted this in a couple different places here on Tnet a few weeks ago so maybe if I post now with some more information in hope someone will recognize what it may be.
I found this shallow under a pine in Dayton Ohio near a schoolhouse from the 1840s or earlier. There's also evidence of homes that were there and a small family cemetery a stones throw away from where I found it.
Now from what I've found, I guess it would be post civil war since it says "in god we trust". It does appear to have a hard to read date in the 1860s ( can't tell). It's riveted onto crossing leather strips
Thanks for any info or conjectures
