I dug this today in a civil war camp and I believe it is brass. Do you know what it is?

VADigger, we'll need the dimensions, length/width to help determine what it is and any other info you have about it. Breezie

I have dug some hanging scales that looked real similar to the object you have. Is there any markings on it?

 

[vadigger89]

The piece is 4 1/4 inches long and and inch wide. No markings on it.

Is it fairly thick, or is it thin and springy?

 

[vadigger89]

IT is pretty thick. I can bend it with some force but I dont want to bend it anymore. Would more pictures help?

 

[vadigger89]

It is actually 6 1/2 inches long.

I hate to say this, but it looks like it could be lips off the Tinman....... just the way it is sitting there in the picture.....
