Not a coin

[relic lover]

I really thought I had my first coin in 3 trips to this long lost homestead. It is hard copper looks hand cut and made me sad what is it?

Maybe the head of a copper nail...?

Possibly an attempt to make a button from a coin?

I think DCMATT is right !!

Is it just me or do I see a head on the second picture facing left? Just to the left of the darkest spot I see a mustache, nose and forehead. If I was adept at pics on here I could easily circle or have an arrow pointing at it. Anybody else?

those holes look like pockets from heating like it may have been soldered or welded to something
