Is it lead? If so I'd say it looks like a really nice bag seal. Which would kind of make sense with the train track. If its not lead, maybe watch winding key or FOB?

Hi Hbot I’m going to say seems cooper ? Green in color . My initial thought was watch winding key as well. Not sure if that is a track or maybe a tower , looking at the flared end of the “track”

That's not a (railroad) track... nor a tower. It is a capital letter I written in a font which was popular in the late-1800s font.

The capital C followed by a "small" (lower-case) letter o is the "Co." abbreviation for Company.

In my opinion, the logo says "CI Co."

Can't be sure without a sideview photo, but your find appears to be a lead seal for bag/sack closure, from the late-1800s into the early-1900s.

Thanks everyone
If it is a bag seal then definitely different than ones I’ve dug before. It appears to be that the end may be broke off ?

I think this is from a "spreader tube" of Carter's mucilage/paste. These have come up a few times in the past on this forum.

✅ SOLVED - Old Tomahawk and Pin(?) Identification

My father found this tomahawk detecting at a very old foundation at a state park in CT about 15 years ago. I always found it fascinating. Does anyone have any insight on how old it could be? The cellar hole looked 18th / 19th century. Could it possibly be later native American? Second Picture...
