A Nickel and a stone

Haha, so you're saying both virtually worthless??

Looks like it could be the portion of a side notch base.

It looks like there is thinning strikes where it resembles a base all along the edge.

My guess is it is melted cast iron or aluminum as I suspect it rang off in that range?

I don't see any work on it. Flake? Yak

Yakker, look at the pic on the right, and enlarge it. Notice the bottom edge is chipped the entire length. Then notice here are no other similar edges anywhere. To me, that looks like a worked edge.

Maybe I am just seeing things?

I agree looks like a broke worked piece of sorts

I'm agreeing with Quito, that the bottom edge has been worked and I'll bet if you hold the notched area with your thumb and forefinger it could be utilized as a small knife.

I have proposed this theory to several others before. The notch fits a thumb and finger perfectly for a knife. Others say it's nothing.
