✅ SOLVED Civil War Relic? Calhoun Ga Skirmish...Need help identifying

[wayfas4u]

I dug this yesterday at the skirmish area in Calhoun Ga.on about 70 acres where the battle of Rome’s crossroads May 1864 Hardee’s Corps attack. Quarter is for size reference. This is made of Solid Brass, has green patina and weighs a bit heavy. The two halves were dug 3 feet apart each 3 inches in the ground, when placed together looks like a fit. What in the world is this?

It looks like part of a farm implement to me. Gary

thinking a spiked wheel harrow

I thought the same thing about farm implement, but this is made of brass. That raises the question.

Thank you Creskol, I do believe you nailed it! I was wishing it was military! Got any idea of the date?

 

[creskol]

Hard to say, really, but lightening rods and weathervanes became quite popular in the mid 19th century, but the designs of many are still being used in today's market.

I think you was actually known as the Sun and Moon, as the center hole had a moon in it.

This is good info, I had no idea. Thank you for your time and input

So, it's probably not a Ninja throwing star?

I said the same thing - Kung Fu Infantry throwing star.
