Isn't it fun to try and imagine how it came to be where it was found? You live in a part of the world that has a long history of human occupation. You'll probably find much more evidence of that occupation as time goes on.

Nice work!

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

It is made of cupper/nickel/zinck alloy (called alpaka silver or just new silver, used to be quite common material, today it is only used for spring contacts in electrionics and those "cupper" appearing coins). I found it under ground of shallow waters of Sochia river (some 20 cm deep in the sand, not very deep) most probably it is WW I era, there ware quite heavy fightings in this area, in 12 offenzives over 5 milion heavy cannon shalls (over 1t) ware fired and over 1 milion soilders died. The river turned red, rusty guns, cannons and other military equipment is still laying all over.

That's quite a history! Sounds like a great place to search.
