To me it looks like a smashed metal wine goblet missing the base. Can't really tell much from that single pic, though...

 

[Toecutter]

Ill get some more pics on here in a bit, its only a inch or so thick, its not smashed up to bad, and the edges are squared off.....

 

[DCMatt]

Pics of the small end would be helpful. If it's isn't too smashed maybe it's a liquor flask.

I think Matt's on to something. I think it looks like a whiskey flask.

I was thinking flask as well, just seemed like a odd shape for a flask... Ill get ya's more pics thanks guys...

I’ll go with the flow, whiskey flask it is!!

 

[Reanm8er]

Yeah I think beverage related! Although the shape looks similar to something else. Ironman?
