You have found the base of a squashed paper shotgun shell...the primer is the small protrusion...the base of early ones were copper and later brass...take brasso and toothbrush and it will clean right up. Probably a 20 or 28 gauge...

I thought for a second that was a totally daft ID.

Then I looked again, and it's plain as day looking at it.

I gleamed the UK-but that doesn't discount the maker being from another country.
Geez who thought there was so many different headstamps out in this world.

Agree. Squished shotgun brass from a 20th C paper & brass shell. Maybe a 20 gauge or a 410?

It's clear to me that there is a spent primer in the center.

I agree, once he posted SG brass I went back to look and it was like a sore thumb🤘
