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 popped eardrums. 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!
It tapers to a screw hole on the end, looks to be a 5/8" inch bolt or so would fit inside. I found the number "5" on one side of the screw end and a "M" or "W" or "3" on the other side.
Is it tractor, electrical, or construction related? Any help with positive identification on the brass item is greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking, happy hunting to all. Sub
