Welcome to the forum. I am going to move your post to the "what is it" section as they usually figure everything out. My guess is a sewer or septic cover. I say did deeper and see

It is not gold, likely brass. It is just an elevation marker for geological reference. It would be illegal to sell, and it even says you are subject to a fine for moving it from its original location.

Ah you are right nhbenz. I did not really look at it. Survey marker/pin for sure.

200 peso fine a little more than $4 usd.

Ferdinand Marcos got most of the gold stashed by the Japanese.

Survey marker. (Survey marker, benchmark marker, geodetic survey marker) Different government agencies here in the U.S. set them up (U.S Geological Survey, Dept. of the Interior, etc.) I've seen a lot of them and sometimes in the strangest places. I never mess with them cause as far as I know it's generally prohibited by federal law to tamper with or remove them. The ones I've seen are brass and have no value to me. I don't know about the 'X' thing.
