is this an old coin or a token? Found 4 feet from a 1818 large center if that helps

Turning the left pic clockwise 90 degrees makes me believe I see the image of an upright person walking. Granted, these old eyes often play tricks on me.

I think it may be something like this... or related to it-

Sure looks like oxidized silver. As soon as I would dug that I would have spit on it and rub it out with my fingers until I could see what it is. But it looks a little too far gone for that now. At this point I would use a toothbrush with baking soda or toothpaste to remove some of the oxidized silver and maybe some metal polish. That’s what I would do and most of the seasoned hunters that I know.

It's already been identified but thanks anyway. Thank you bramblefind for identifying

I usually find a mud puddle and rub it around with my heel, then take it to the bench grinder at home for a good cleanin'
Nice ID Bramblefind, as always.

Yeah the pic is after I cleaned. It's rubbed pretty bad

Well now that I see it on a different monitor I can see the orange so it is differently not silver. It cracks me up how many folks think that even washing a coin off with water is taboo. But seasoned hunters that dig thousands of targets don't have time for that nonsense. And that token that you found won't be worth more than a buck in that condition, you will find this out if you stick with this hobby. I didn't make this stuff up that is the real world. Good Luck.

I want to add this:
Many of the areas out here that we dig silver coins from has soil that is highly mineralized and or fertilized. And silver coins dug from these areas will come out of the ground looking like they did when they went in. But within a minute or two the coin can oxidize to a point that the date can't be made out. The spit and rub stops this chemical reaction.

Very nice ID, Bramble. Unusual coin to be posted here. Congrats on the find.
