I found this on my second outing with my AT Pro I just bought. I thought it was scrap when i first pulled it out, but after cleaning it today I realized it was made of copper and looks to be old. I found it at an old home site next to a lake in PA. It has a decorative edge and on the sides has two holes for fastners. At first I thought it might hold a mirror, I dont know. The picture with the hole is what I believe is one "side". The picture with it in my hand over the dark background is the way I think it sits except the "tab" at the bottom is actually the top of the object. Sorry I should of uploaded the pictures better, but I am finishing up research in the library to go back out today! Thanks in advance for any help. If additional pictures are needed let me know. Will upload tomorrow.

Maybe a differential gasket for an auto or similar equipment..
 

What about an old stove part,

Yeah it may have been a picture frame. I don't think it was a stove part or anything it has too many details to be a part to a car or stove. Thanks for the input I appreciate it. I'll try to upload a better picture.
 

Maybe a frame for a hand mirrior
