Land has been occupied and lived on since before the civil war through today. I found this within 100 yards of where I found a federal reg calvary buckle (1851). Not sure what it could be. Any ideas?
My first thought was a piece to an old antenna array? But lack of any Phillips head fasteners leads me to believe it may be a bit older?
Thanks!
