Any Ideas?

Dug this in my yard... house dates from mid 1920's... (penny is for scale only.)
Need to learn how to dig less trash, but thought this was interesting.
Remnants of screen across one side... filter of some kind maybe?

Any thoughts on what it is?

Pickup for some kind of sump pump would be my guess.

Thanks... sounds about right. Got to start digging better targets.

Almost anything is worth digging but some are just better than others. Lol

Unidentified car part?

It is definitely a screen for some type of pump, could be from an early engine oil pump, or some other type of water pump as cliff suggested.

Brass ?

Worth saving if so.

Might be brass rang up 78-80 on my F22...

Might be a bilge pump strainer screen for boat.
If so, it could be bronze.

Awesome... thanks guys, I think that's it. House is near a reservoir... Previous owner had a boat for sure... I found and OLD pair of oars up in the garage loft when I bought the place.

Any Ideas?
