I found this on my second outing with my AT Pro I just bought. I thought it was scrap when i first pulled it out, but after cleaning it today I realized it was made of copper and looks to be old. I found it at an old home site next to a lake in PA. It has a decorative edge and on the sides has two holes for fastners. At first I thought it might hold a mirror, I dont know. The picture with the hole is what I believe is one "side". The picture with it in my hand over the dark background is the way I think it sits except the "tab" at the bottom is actually the top of the object. Sorry I should of uploaded the pictures better, but I am finishing up research in the library to go back out today! Thanks in advance for any help. If additional pictures are needed let me know. Will upload tomorrow.

Yeah it may have been a picture frame. I don't think it was a stove part or anything it has too many details to be a part to a car or stove. Thanks for the input I appreciate it. I'll try to upload a better picture.
