What do you folks think? I got a few ideas. But I think my imagination is humoring me.

What size...? Can you put a quarter beside it?

Looks like a very worn old "zinc" for boat.

This piece of metal is called a sacrificial anode, and most often it is zinc. In fact, most boaters refer to sacrificial anodes simply as zincs.
Here is what it may have looked like new...
