Wouldn't a trigger guard be much thinner..

Does not appear to be a triggerguard.
Looks more like a piece of antler off a lawn ornament.

Thanks, that was what I was wondering; that's why I included a picture showing the diameter.

Thanks taz42o for a great ID on DownNDirty's item and mine also. These were found at the site of a long gone antebellum home and I had no idea what they were. Silver dollar is for size reference. This is why I love TresureNet.

Well I'll be. I always thought mine was part of a hat rack

Sure, they have three legs, so I guess you call them a "log trivet".

Ditto for me-I really appreciate all of the input given and time put in by many in this forum to help id some very hard to identify relics (such as this one). Thanks! SOLVED
