Found this in my front yard yesterday after work before the rain started. very plain on the front doesn't appear to be any design on it, having a hard time reading the maker marks on the back. very happy with the find

Old but a bit later. Rev War period usually don't have a makers mark.

In that case I would dig some holes 200 yards up the street.

The back mark is "Warranted*Orange". That is a fairly common back mark for the period, which I would say is 1800-1830's.
