Found on our property that has a rich in the following; Native American, Revolutionary/Civil War, WW1 artillery range, and moonshiners. Coin sized heavy like lead. Any ideas?

Can you show a pic of the reverse side?
So far, it doesn't look like any coIn that I'm aware of.

It doesn't look like a coin. Seems to be iron, and with the word "YARD" or "WARD" on it.

Don’t have it with me know, but it’s smooth on the back

Seal?

If smooth on the reverse, even more reason to believe it is not a coin.

Seal?

Does seem like it but I think letters would have to be reversed on a seal.

Seal?

That is my guess if it is lead (at least, non-magnetic for a start).

It would be helpful if people put a small object such as a quarter next to finds they want help ID'ing.

Good luck to all,
