Medallion

This is a medallion that I found a few years ago at a Methodist revival meeting place. I had just found an 1878 Seated Quarter and an 1883 Canadian fishscale in an old dirt road! So I continued on and dug this at about 8inches! I remember seeing a picture of it in a Mark Parker column, but I dont know what it is. I've been trying to ID it for years...hopefuly someone can help me out! Sorry for the blurry pic. The person has some kind of scaly "hat" on it's head. I remember reading that it was a "bolt" thru it's neck(it looks like a club to me) It is thin brass I think about the size of a dime.
 
...that's real hard to see. Is it a bathing cap on his head or is it one of those busts that show the anatomy of the brain?? <img src="/metal/html/shocked.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":shock">
Any writing on it or anything on the other side to help out?
 
Yah...sorry about the picture. It is more like a "chain of mail" armor. Or tiny plates close together. Form fitting like a bathing cap I guess. No writing at all. Nothing on the other side, except the punch out to the front. I think this thing is from the 1870-80 era, and it might be a Methodist symbol, but I'm just guessing.
