A beautiful day called for a few hours of detecting on my favorite wooded hillside meadow. I dug this big, brass item after stopping the bleeding from my ears. It rang out a 97 on the ATPro, and was about three inches below the surface. I have no idea what it was used for, but it is about 5 1/2" long, 3 1/2' wide, 1/4" thick, and weighs in at 1.5 pounds! I found the number "5" on one side of the screw end and a "M" or "W" or "3" on the other side. I also found the "Ace" bandage clip, an iron buckle, some old .22 caliber bullets, old pistol and musket balls, and a 10 gauge shotgun casing marked, "1901/No. 10/Repeater." Any help with positive identification on the brass item is greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking, happy hunting to all. Sub
