Sweet find. I have been wondering where you have been, you find some of the greatest stuff
Scrap gold used for cash? It has a rough cut/filed edge on the spoon like lip. Maybe thumb piece off a flintlock with the monogram wore off? Repurposed native ear ring?
Solid gold?
Rather crudely cast...
And there's that curious triangle hole at the bottom...
Petal or leaf from a brooch?
s it me or when i zoom in on the top side i see a plant starting from bottom right and spreading out towards the top. and above the hole 2 capitol A's one above the other with possible smaller letters after them. While i'm at it i see a horizontal sword, pommel left, guard up in upper part of bush/plant. probably all scratches but i got plenty of time lately.
