The Morgan dollar is for size reference. (Early Xmas gift from wife with a card that said: "You cant find them if you dont know what they look like...smarta##.)
Found it in a baseball field. About 12" down. Pretty darn deep for my Ace 350. The baseball park was some sort of field in the 40's as far as I know. As you can see it has a bit of green patina on top of a goldish color, does that mean brass? Looking at it from top it has a countersunk hole that a couple of my friends thought might be for a screw. What I find interesting is that one end is flat like it should go against something while the other end is not. It also has four "feet" to keep it of the surface its on.
Any knowledge on it would be appreciated.
Oh, and I have not found anything else that deep or of that kind of apparent age in the park. No square nails etc.
Thanks and Merry Christmas and HH to all.

I have no idea what it is... But it's damn cool in my expert opinion
 
Don't know why, a napkin ring comes to mind.
And that is just a really wild guess.
