    Is that a current subway token? It looks like one from the 50's.

    My first thought also. But, I couldn't see the balance. But, it does look like it would be for military awards.

    Maybe a small part of some kind of weight balance scale type thingy?

    Gotta love the thrill of metal detecting! I get a rush everytime I make a find, whether it be a 21st century coin or one that's been burried for a century! Keep on hunting!
