I found this in a spot where I've pulled a 1780 half penny, a shoe buckle and a few buttons around the same age. There were also musket balls, 3 ring bullets, .22 LR and shot shell caps for days so it's been an active spot for a while. It was deeper than most but it's also heaver.
It seems like it's brass to me. The back has tabs that were bent to hold something, maybe 1/8 to 3/16 thick. I was thinking decretive concho but my daughter pointed out the tabs are thick enough that they could have held fabric too.
Any ideas?
