Maybe a thumb lever from some type of latch?

Lol it does but I'm pretty sure it's not a tieback. I know its nothing special I'm just curious to know what it was doing in the ground miles from anywhere.

my guesses have been already taken, but just remember just because its miles away from anywhere today dosent mean that nothing was there 100 years ago

I don't see a spring on the back, but could it be an early version of a ear ring. Wife says it might be a snap for purse.

I agree with some of the others - napkin ring, obviously smashed a little and broken. Shell is a popular motif for napkin rings (that's what it looks like to me...).

That's the consensus so it must be a napkin ring. All replies were appreciated
