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

Looks like a baffle or stirring paddle for an agitator. No idea, really, but that's what it looks like!
