Hello all thanks for looking.  I dug this up today not to much detail left. But I thought there might be enough to identify what it is.  Thanks for any help.

Happy Hunting ,

definately appears to be a coin, but you'll have to soak it and clean it up for an i.d.

Johnnyi is right, it will need to be cleaned up but from what I can see (or imagine I am seeing) it looks like a capped bust dime or half dime.  I don't know enough about early coins sizes to guess for sure.

Agree.  Capped bust dime or half dime.  I can see the E and the verticle stripes on the shield.
