What in the HECK is this??

[ATP]

Found in Va , at an old home site. Trying to figure out any info on what this might be? Or who this might be? And why would it be in Virginia? Why is it silver and cup shaped ? Any help with this mystery object is greatly appreciated. Trying to help a friend out. Thank you for any input ..
