✅ SOLVED Thought I dug a land mine

[pa-dirt_nc-sand]

Found in the woods at an old park near Pittsburgh. It’s very heavy. It seems to be similar build to an old horse tack rosette, brass filled with lead.

The other side is silver washed brass with some concentric circle pattern.

I hit it with my shovel and i can confirm that it did not blow up, maybe a dud, Jk...

Really have no idea.

Looks like the bottom of a clocks pendulum.

Probably is a pendulum weight, but that is a strange rod set-up if it is.

Thx. You nailed it. Super weird to find this in the middle of the park woods, not really near any old home site.
