Enjoyably productive lately with a bunch of coins.
Also a 1951 wheatie
Yesterday I was hunting around an old tree in an alleyway near the University. Pulled out what looks like a dinnerware piece(strainer? it's showing upside-down in the pic) or possibly a religious artifact--kinda cool. 2.25" tall and 3" at it's widest point. 2 rows of decorative holes at the top. Well-made, not magnetic.
I found the 1954D quarter around this same tree. Came out of the hole bright silver with only a little bit of dirt that was easy to rub off. It took me 11 years to find 5 silver Washingtons and have found 3 in the past 8 months. Crazy hobby.
HH and thanks for LQQKING.

I thinking a possible bell from your first photos but now I would say maybe a small flower pot.

Flower pot makes sense. It's a thin cheap metal--nothing lavish about it. Kinda makes me wonder how it got to be under the tree. The tree existed long before the houses were built so through time plenty of ppl may have found shelter under the tree--especially in Arizona's hot summers!
