Couldn't believe it when I pulled it out don't know what it's from but cleaned up really nice can't wait to get out again tomorrow

That's really different! Is that from hobo art? Where they cut it out of a coin?

 

[CRUSADER]

that was my guess, cut out coin

 

[SGT Claddy]

I have no idea nothing else was in the hole and I found it at a old summer near my house and it was about 6-7 inches down

That's a cool find - did you find it at a summer camp ? There's a cut out of a Buffalo nickel just posted here as well (background cut out )

The cutouts were real popular in the 60's and 70's. The most common ones I remember were mercury dimes. They normally had the flat areas between the rim and the bust removed leaving Mercury's head inside a ring. They usually were sold with a silver chain to match.
