Coin or What ?

[Flyingbuy]

Hi, This came from the same field as all the other coins and stuff I've posted. This item was about 9 inches down and was a very srong hit from the start. I don't know what the material is ? It is smooth all over and has A ( 1 ) clearly slashed in one side and what looks like a whales tale on the other ? Is this some sort of Native American money ??

the other stuff , escochen plate, and musket balls where found too !!

Native Americans minted no coinage--though this may be a Spanish cob coin.
What is max. diameter (mm) and weight (grams)?

Hard to see the whale tale in pic. Could the material be lead?

I would imagine it IS some kind of coin or token. Hope some of the experts can figure it out. Nice find! Hogge

Most objects, like musket balls , that I pull up turn white as soon as they hit the air, this piece never did that ? It measures 1" x 1 1/2 " x 1/8 " thick
