What is this?

Hey folks.

I'm new here, and need some help. I found a oval brass item ten years ago metal detecting. It's a little bigger than a quarter, and has a stud on the back where it must have attached to something. It has queen Victoria's stamp on it. A crown between the letters V R. Under that it says "seoure". Any ideas?

Hey, Inks

Welcome to Tnet...no idea what that is, but if you haven't tried the "What is it?" forum yet you might get more replies there, a lot of kind and knowledgeable folks are over there just waiting for another mystery object to be posted! Yours looks pretty interesting. Happy Hunting!

My first guess would be a keyhole cover.

Thanks for the help. I will try the other forum. The keyhole idea could be true.

Looks like it says 'SECURE'.
