I first posted this artifact on the North American Indian Artifact forum because it was found in an area where I have found archaic and woodland projectile points and tools. I don’t have a reference regarding a NA related copper or any disk shaped item of any kind on the east coast.

If anyone has any thoughts let me know.

My first thought was a saddle shield decoration.
Based on it's crude casting and design, I'm thinking late-18th or early 19thc.

I have this on another forum and the consensus seemed to be some type of escutcheon round for cabinet hardware. This got me thinking and searching in new directions and I found this.

I think we can close this case and through a dart at age.

Thank you all.
