I can't really find anything on it. I found it in southwestern Virginia around an old home plot. Found three flat buttons, a scythe, some brass thing I posted a few days ago, then this. Was about 3" deep. But other than that I can't seem to find much on it. Crazy thing is my dad found one in mississippi just like it but it had a British flag stamped on it.
