Found this without the detector before I started. It appears that it might be an iron of some sort.
Te upper part is lead and the lower appears to be brass.

1st - I noticed this was your very first post William - so, Welcome Aboard! You didn't list your state (or country) in your profile. So, you might consider jumping over to Sub-Forums: Select Your Area.... and selecting location information (i.e., clubs, hunts, finds, legends, maps, etc.) directly related to your state (or country).
2nd - You might provides some measurements (if possible).
Thanks. I am always in need of direction.
This was found in Northern Virginia within spitting distance of DC.
It is just short of 6"s in length, 1 1/4 "s in width and 2 1/4 "s in height.
