This is my first post, so forgive me for any errors I make. I found this object last year in the Gulf of Mexico, and just recently rediscovered it in my closet. Although I did have my bounty hunter detector with me when it was found, it wasn't the metal detector I found it with, it was actually my big toe! I had walked into the water until it was about waist deep to cool off, and along the way I kicked up what I thought was a rock or shell from the seabed. Thanks to the clear water though, I was able to see right away it was no rock.

I can't find anything out about this thing. Reverse image searching results in nothing. Research into many objects that fit the description results in nothing. Even endlessly searching for a match to the numbers on its side doesn't reveal a single thing. The only info I can give you guys to work with is the size, barely legible imprinted number, & the fact that it's a non-ferrous metal.

Size: 35-37mm long X 25mm wide

Imprint: (on right side of the cross from frontward perspective)

D 1179-67 C STD 9935 70

I'll attach a few good photos of the front & back along with one for a size reference.
If any one even has speculation of what this could be, what it could be made of, etc, please comment!

I'm pretty sure that's a windshield mirror mounting stud the one they glue to the window and the mirror bracket slides over.

Thanks for agreeing with me but I was not able to find an exact match. But its the same size and shape

....Yet a different color......hmmmm....

I am starting to think about jewelry item , a bolo, pin or such with a poorly thought out p/n placement.

.......NAW.......
It just doesnt look like jewelry. I dont even think its silver. There is no hole to hang it, no pin to clip it and it has a part number on it. It looks more like a battery door from a camera or something

Josh, any chance of a side-on pic showing the depth/height of the disc on the 'back'?

The raised round part on the back is mostly convex, but has a flat end point instead of being sharp or pointed. The whole object is made of some kind of metal, but no part of it is magnetic. (Which should rule out several materials right away)

My original thought was that the convex round part is for something electronic, like a round battery. It kinda looks like solder on the tip for a better connection. Im surprised the part numbers dont show in any search or even parts of the number. Especially if its an item easily lost. Maybe a different search engine will find it. Its not old. Somebody gotta know what this thing is.
