Found this in bottom of Mt river in Gallatin Valley yesterday. Seems to be metal. Anyone have thoughts of what it might be? IMG_0374.JPG IMG_0376.JPG IMG_0374.JPG IMG_0376.JPG

It does look a bit large, hard to tell the size from the photos.

Looks kind of like an old smudge pot I used to see at road construction sites when I was a kid.
