I dug this up at site that that has pre-civil war building ruins in southern Wisconsin. Historical records indicate one of the inhabitants had stage horses, and it is on a main north-south route. The place is riddled with iron, I've pulled about 1000 square nails from the area near the old house, and I'm using a Fisher F19. It was found on a hill about 100' from the old building, only a few inches down and is about 3/8" in diameter. Seems to be lead or pewter and is likely silver plated. No markings, numbers, letters of any kind. Since it is roughly spherical, I posted a collage so you can see all sides. Any idea what this might be from? I originally thought "charm bracelet", but there are no holes or hooks.
Thanks for any hints that you might be able to provide.

Well it looks like the planet earth. Probably an earring . Modern too. Plating usually flakes off in a short time.
