Mystery Iron Piece

[VOL1266-X]

I dug this Saturday at a large U.S. camp where artillery was present. I thought I may have dug a shell until I got it out of the hole. It's solid iron. Large drill bit? I have no idea. HH, Quindy.

I thought it may be a large finial too Bryan but there are no old homesites within half a mile or more. The tip looks like it's lead. Thanks, Quindy.

Pretty close with drill bit. It's a carbide-tipped bit for bulldozer or other equipment.
