A trashy day with 1 cool relic, cast iron Lemon Juicer Hand Press?

[dirtlooter]

I was using the Nox and wading thru a trashy area. This is the same basic area that I recently found the gold ring so I was digging almost everything. Not seen are the cans, wire and some other big iron and some foil. I dug some clad but no old coins at all. The cast iron hand press threw me for a moment as I first saw the one remaining handle and first thought some sort of mold but as I cleaned it, I knew that it was some sort of press. The shape of it reminded me of a Lemon juicer press. Modern ones have several small holes in the bottom to let the juice drain thru. This one has a lip like a ladle. It may not be for Lemons or Lime but who knows. Somebody had to put some real pressure on it to break the one handle off, Jethro Bodine? Any ideas? Thanks DL

Great job dirtlooter! It looks like Jethro tried to juice a piece of grapeshot. "Ought from ought leaves ought!"
