Can you add a little info about where you found, not specifics but generalities like in a field, around an old house,Old battlefield or in a park Modern or older. That can sometimes help with I.D.Thanks.

Can you make a pencil scratching of the front so we can see what is stamped on it?

It was found by a friend. They found civil war buttons in the area. I think it says D & M on the front.

deepsecrets nailed it. Padlock drop or keyhole cover.

I agree that deepsecrets nailed it. I have found a few of those in Civil War camps before.

I agree

Found this pic it does seem to have something military though
