Went out a little this morning to some woods near one of my favorite spots. Was picking through some iron when I got a nice signal on the t2. after digging about 10 inchs out popped this.

It is copper, it looks to be cast, it appears that he is looking into what appears to be a face. It measures 2 1/2" wide by 3" high.

I found this in an area were I have found a lot of colonial coins and buttons. If anyone could help with iding this I would be very grateful

Thanks.
