I found this out in the woods in a location where I have found civil war bullets before. There was also a house located nearby from the 40s until the 1960s. It appears to be made of carbon and the rod seems to be copper. I have no idea what it might be. Any thoughts?

old battery?

It's looks to have been cut off on the small end, other than that,? I sure a member will ID.

it looks like carbon rod from an old fashioned carbon-zinc battery, similar to this one. This one has the jacket still on it whereas yours has been removed.

Definitely a Carbon-Zinc Battery. Found hundreds of pieces of them on my property. I've heard they are really good to use with electrolysis.
