Looks like a replica of a 1 dollar gold coin, probably from a bracelet or necklace.

Is there any way to find a value?

The small found item is a copy of a U.S. one dollar gold coin, bearing the date 1864. These turn up on occasion in sites dating from the 1860's and a couple decades following, and come in a variety of styles. Apparently at one time these were attached together, forming a linked chain, that was worn for adornment, either as a bracelet, or possibly a belt. I have yet to see a complete example, to ascertain the actual use of these during the era of popularity.

The value of a single imitation gold coin chain link, bearing a rough surface with limited details from harsh ground exposure, is of very limited monetary value, other than of course the thrill of the find, which can be priceless!

P.S. A polite inquiry in the headings here, avoiding four letter expletives, will likely garner the best response from the online community of experts and family of viewers.

Trinket token made to (just slightly) resemble a mid-1800s US dollar coin--as mentioned above.

Some years ago I saw a picture of one of those on a watch chain. Made to slightly imitate an old one dollar gold piece.
