Can Someone ID This Tree Please?

I dug this out of my fence row this morning and would like to find out what it is. The leaves are like a silvery color on the underside.

Thank You in advance.

First of all thanks to everyone who tried to identify this tree. I have been searching in my free time to no avail, but I did run across this tonight.
It is called Elaeagnus umbellata, or Oriental Olive; Autumn Olive.
Although this tree has not produced any flowers or fruit, the leaves and bark look very close to what I have. What do you think??

Gandalph,

Sorry about the lack of response, it is not always an easy thing to ID a tree from pictures. We may have this in my area but I have never been able to make a positive ID. The plant I''m thinking of has very fragrant flowers that just faded here.

Thanks Gnome,

I think any flowering/fruiting may be delayed for this one after lifting.

I'm still looking :)
