Old Family Cemetery - Help

[Trad]

Found near an old unmarked family cemetery. The cemetery is on land owned by descendants of the same family since the late 1700s in South Carolina. I have been unable to date the cemetery or any of the graves (headstones that I could find are small rocks).

Thanks for any and all help!

Looks to have letters on both sides, but I am not a coin guy. also you will probably get flack about it being from around a cemetery I know you said near, but some won't bother reading they will just comment.

Thanks. I didn't think of how it sounded. It's my family's land and we were looking to find evidence of names or other clues to who is buried in the graveyard.

My ancestry traces back to upstate S.C. & I have researched my ancestry for years ! I cannot help with the stone , but try to do some family research to find out who may be buried there. There are not a lot of official old records !

This is a complete shot in the dark....

I've found similar very badly corroded coins in the UK. from the dimensions and thickness it could be a British George 3rd 'Cartwheel Penny' dating from around 1800 or a similar style token. At that time a lot of big manufacturers minted their own coins/tokens that were of a similar size and shape because the Royal mint had stopped minting copper coins because of a shortage of copper that was caused by the huge demands of the Royal Navy for the metal.
