Found 3" metal round disc

[Integrity3]

I found this 3" round metal disc in the same area I found some buttons that have been Dated around 1820. There is a number eight on the front of the disc and On the back it looks like a metal clasp or hook that's encrusted with rust. Can anyone help me identify what this is and or how old it is?

Bigfoot, the crosspiece on the indented side isn't solid, but rather has an opening that allows you to put a hook or standard lid lifter into it. It also serves to make for a effectively flat surface to cook on. So, it goes # side down.
Sometimes these smaller ones went into a bigger ring, as shown here (although it's listed as a salesman sample it has the same design); http://www.google.com/search?q=cast...AA&biw=1024&bih=672#biv=i|0;d|B2u9kcFRC61xBM:
