It is a latch of sorts. The hole is not a finger pull. It's for a lock.

As the others have mentioned, vintage brass cabinet or door latch plate.

Did you find this near water ?

Looks like older boat hardware.

Interesting find. Being brass I think maybe AARC might be on to something. Good luck with the ID.

Yes, I dug it in Savannah, GA near water. I also dug another one of these that is encrusted in 4 horseshoes.
