Went back to my childhood home (my parents still live there). My first time there I found an 1891 Canadian fish scale within 5 minutes. Then a whole lotta junk. After that I've been back a few times but each hunt has been a hurried 20 minutes battling mosquitoes. It's a small property but today I wanted to spend about 2 hours and cherry pick (lots of junk). The house was built in 1880 and the lawn is littered with aluminum siding scrap metal (rings up silver) and many nails.
I found a lot of clad, some yet to be ID'd pieces of metal, a wheatie, and this thing came out of the hole on my last dig. I thought it was a washer at first but then saw that the hole wasn't round or center. Upon closer inspection I can see writing, and I can make out a 1950. Can't tell what's on the left. The backside is pretty toasty. I think it was at one time solid and has eaten away over time. Also included is a photo of size comparison next to the wheatie.
I've got it soaking in mild soapy water and will see if I can get it to reveal some more.
