Wierd round thingy

Not at all sure what this could be. Seems to be made of brass or copper and is quite heavy for it's size. Help me solve this mystery!

looks like an old concho or a lapel pin minus the pin, the back side looks like there was something heat fused on back, which is now missing, thats my guess.

Looks like the base for an old car antenae to me. Just a guess.

Most likely that's what it is.

I could see it being an antena base. Way too heavy for a pin. The place I found it has not yeilded anything newer than 1941 as far as coins and two crotal bells that date to the late 1800's. I know from the neighbors that this land was formally a field and the house that sits on it was built in the early to mid 1800's. There is also a barn that was built in 1910. Hope this info helps with further ID or confirmation of current theory.
