Found this today in the woods behind my house. We live in an area of central Va. fought over during the civil war so we've pulled a lot of cw relics out of the ground. This is approximately an inch or so in diameter and appears to be a central disc of aluminum or other whitish metal coated or electroplated in pewter or brass or some other darker, soft metal. On one side is the following text: "Entered according to act of congress in the year 1848 by Wm C Brown in the clerks office" There is then a large chunk of the surface metal missing but in the lower left area there are the letters: "Dist----". On the obverse is what appears to be a right profile of a person in a military uniform with an epaullette and a broad lapel on the jacket. I hope somebody out there can help cause this is pretty cool!
