Hello, everyone.
I am new here. I was just detecting at a minor Civil War battle site and recovered something that could be related to the battle/war or just be something that's not too far off from roughly the same period. The area was farmed likely between the late 1800s and 1950s, so it could be something related to agriculture. Or, it could be something entirely unrelated to either(?). It is very strong/solid, though the metal is relatively thin.
I did find a cannonball fragment not terribly far from this object, which is clearly a lid or top to something. It obviously had a pin that ran through it and connected to some type of container.
Any help in identifying this piece would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark J.
