Anyone have a clue what this is?

I found this a while back with an xlt am really curious as to what it might be. I found it about 50 ft from a river in the woods in a town that was started in the early 1700's. Its a little larger and a little heavier than a quarter it seems to be copper,has the color, and a couple spots of green like old copper gets. but there doesnt seem to be any actual markings that i can make out. Here's the pics,sorry bout the quallity.

Can you take a couple of pictures in natural light the coin would show better. Dan

I'm pretty good at the "guess that coin" game, being a part-time numismatist, but I'm afraid the focus on those pictures is too blurry for me to tell much of anything. Is it flat, like a coin? I can't even tell that. My first thought was that it might be some kind of button.

Shoot it again for us in better lighting, and I'll have another go at it, if somebody else doesn't beat me to the ID.

It is flat like a coin but im really not sure if it is an old coin that was deteriorated in the ground or if it was maybe some gind of plug. I will try to post some better pics, may take me a few days though.

My first guess is a button. The loop my be broken off and all that remains is a small dot where it was soldered on. If it has no sign of a loop then it's a copper coin, possibly American, British or a State coin (Mass, CT, VT, Virginia, etc...)
