Hey all, my son and I dug this within 150 yds of our home, the condition you see is after heavy cleaning, it looked like it was from the titanic when dug,
there was known civil activity here, from both sides, however I believe this to be a very old homesite, as well.
In one of the pics there is a small square that is very shiny silver, I was surprised to see this.
also near the elongated hole the silvery can be seen.
the two "end caps" were attached at one time one was nearby,seperated and the other still on it.
I would say 1/4 lb weight.
put you caps on for this one......THANKS 2 ALL.
HERE ARE THE OTHER IMAGES so I dont clog up the site
You may think this is silly....but I think it is an old chicken feeder....
Not silly at all... I used to work on an egg farm in South Florida. Of course, now it's a little more advanced, but with the quarter for a scale, it definitely fits the description...
Ian, It was about 5-6 inches thanks for the ideas. I cant find one thats close though ill keep poking at this a little longer, if it is a feeder, its still cool it means this is a very old homesite.. _________________ NO matter where you go....there you are.

Oh yeah, Keep looking around that site... Should be a silver coin or two around there..
I know what it is!!!
Its a quarter next to a piece of iron junk.

Actually this was found in a known battle site and the 1785 farm of a man that came very close to beating John Deere on the plow patent.
I found one of his original hand made furrows about 2 feet long...
