Found today...?

[Beepbeep13]

I've seen the copper piece before, but I can't recall what it is!... there are two identical screws on each side that are screwed in to clamp down, maybe on to wire? Or an automotive fuse? Something for a house? Help!...

The second piece is lead, I don't think it's a fishing weight because there if no way to fasten it to a line, these were found by a small creek...

Thanks!

some sort of clamp for grounding to a copper ground post

Any idea if it's from a vehicle, or home possibly?

Also reminds me of a ground post clamp for grounding out the lightning rods on a home, barn, outbuildings. Looks kind of small for a lightning rod use though. Antique radio?

Thank you for your input!

The lead piece could be off the mud line on a fishing net ...... or possibly off a cast net used to throw to catch fish

The first is a cable clamp used in clamping 3/16 plastic coated cable. (tiller cable) It is still in use today but was used for boat stearing. Tony
