    Unusual copper lid - to what?

    I found this lid over the weekend. It was buried about 6 inches deep in sand along a lake in Central Florida. This is also the area where I found my 1908 Barber Quarter, so there could be some age to it. It appears to be copper. Approximately 8" long and 3" high. There are two holes in the top of the lid and two rings attached to the inside. Any ideas how this may have been used?

    Maybe a lid to an early bait bucket?

    While I have aimed in my postings to be irenic and conciliatory, rather than polemic, I have yet endeavored to set forth the
    truth, let it favor or impugn whom it might. Any notice of misrepresentations or mistakes occurring in these prose will be most thankfully received
    by the author.

    Possibly from an 1800's lunch pail similar to these:

    Are those D rings inside? What are they for? a strap?
