No, it's a very valuable "shrug your shoulders" and belongs in a museum.

I know that place - it's the "International Museum of Trivial Findings" in Helena, Montana. Amiright?

Easy on the rudeness folks...Bart has actually posted a few
pretty interesting finds lately.

That looks like a piece of something that was blown up. Is
it iron or metal of some type? Maybe take another pic
after you've washed it up..hard to see through dirt.

Piece of a shell sabot?

Much better images. It's always best to clean up an item like
before posting pics.

Hoping others might chime in. Could it be the top (mouth) of
some kind of container? It looks like it had a formed opening.
