Okay, this one really has me stumped. its a piece of heavy lead that measures between 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 on each side. the impression that looks like a V was most likely hammered in using a template or something, you can see in 2 corners it has right angles. It also appears the the piece of lead was folded. One side if it is rounded and the other 3 sides have a thin line going end to end.
I found it in PA along the Delaware Hudson canal system along with a horseshoe, dozens of square head nails, and other interesting things thumbnail (4).jpg . thumbnail (2).jpg thumbnail (3).jpg thumbnail.jpg thumbnail (5).jpg thumbnail (6).jpg thumbnail (4).jpg

We use to put these caps on the top of the posts for protection for children and playground activities. They had a matching cut out so all you had to do was to tap the cover on top of the post once it was set.
