Iron Cross?

[Casey13]

Good afternoon everyone! I went out this morning metal detecting an area out where I work and found this piece. everything I've been finding there has been all early 1900s objects. I don't know if it is real or fake from what I've read on the web.

Thanks everyone!

Thank you so much everyone and thank you for moving this to the correct thread!! I think it has to be real because its definitely from that time period from all the model T parts and things I'm finding there. The only reason I thought it might not was because it doesn't have the iron center which would make it magnetic. But from what I've read they did make all brass ones as well.
