I found this detecting last weekend in Pittsburgh. My initial thought is that it may be a burial marker, but that's a guess. It was found in a side yard of a homesite, it's about 2.5 wide at the top 2" wide at the bottom, 2" high, and about 1/8" thick.

Wasn't that founded in Pittsburgh way back?
I used to have inlaws in Coraopolis and found cool fossils behind their house in Coraopolis Heights.
 
It's a carriage license,we have found quite a few of them in Pittsburgh parks,about 12 that i know of and my oldest is 1896,Finleyville here
 
The item is in the shape of a keystone -- Pennsylvania is, of course, the Keystone State. Found in Pittsburgh - it all makes sense. Pghmole is undoubtedly right about it being a carriage license.
