I believe it was round, measures 1.75 inches. Copper I am thinking, rang up it the 70s on the at pro.
Any ideas?

Reminds me of a lantern cap ... just guessing, though.

Good shot, the metalis a little thin, and the remains of the ring pretty small, but possible,
thanks !

It looks like the remains of a copper,toilet float ball.IMO Not disrespecting your find, our house had one, but ours was completely sealed our house was over 100 years old.Ranchers also used them for water troughs so there might be different styles I don't know for sure.

Nah, it would never float. Less than 2 inches, better chance it is a Christmas ball than that, but thanks for trying'
