Possible coin ID

[Up_is_Down]

Tried posting this in the "What is it" forum, but it was removed.

Wondering if anyone on here has any idea what this coin is that I recently found? I assumed it is a coin, but not 100% certain. It rang up as a 19/20 on a Minelab Equinox 800 and appears to be copper.

The pictures with the side light show what is going on the best while the image with the Roosevelt dime is for size comparison.

Any help with this would be much appreciated!

Was the coin found buried in Maine?

It reminds me of a Roman coin that looks like this:

' Don in SoCal

Yes it was...just a bit bizarre though since I found it in my front yard and usually I am detecting specific areas with known colonial history (like around cellar holes / areas shown to be worked on Lidar). My property is in a region with known history from the early 1600's but my house is on previously undeveloped land and was built in '74. Not impossible but definitely has me wondering what this is.

Same here! It looks like a large bust on one side and a standing figure on the back with potentially someone kneeling down.

yes i was looking for my brothers class ring in my dads front yard the house we grow up in and found a 1774 spanish silver 3 feet from the front door.the lot was cleared and house was built in 1972.that lot could have been cleared 3 or four times by the 1600's.You just never know what use to be there. I hope it turn out to be old roman coin
