Went out detecting for a little bit between rain showers and dug a large copper bucket wasn't going to dig it until I saw it was copper I'm guessing maybe 1800s it weighs about 5lbs after I cleaned it off

Not sure but that's what I had in mind since it's in such bad shape

At 2.50 a pound that's not a bad find.

Don't think it was part of a still do you? Big copper stuff makes me think like that, but that shape doesn't unless it had a lid....
