This was found in a farm field that was part of a battlefield during the Civil War. The two pieces were found together in a hole about 14" deep. This was found about 100 yards behind the Confederate line of defense. There was artillery on both sides and reports of a confederate caisson being hit with mass carnage as a result. Maybe it's just me, but it looks a lot like a binocular tube. There's no inscription of any kind on either piece. Do any of you experts have an opinion? Binocular tube, farm equipment piece???
