No inscriptions that I can find. Looks like it may have been a school bell? I dug it in a Civil War camp, so it's possible it was carried back to the camp by a soldier? I have read several stories about a lot of activity around the school house's back in those day's.
 
Thanks Civilman, Warsaw Daddy, hope you all have a great 08. Tim
 
Gman I wish you great hunting for 2008. Cool finds thanks for Pics.

tsgman,
You may be onto something. I dug one up very similar to yours at the 1830's CW property I am MDing now. Here's a few pictures.
Congrats on a fantastic hunt. That a lot of nice CW relics you got there.

Tsgman,
Is the item between the yellow arrows by chance a fired cleaner type bullet?
Thanks,
MM

MM, those are just a couple of clad coins. This site has only produced a couple of cleaner bullets, good indication it's a early camp of the Civil War.

Thanks Tim. My eyes aren't that great anymore. ;) I thought it may have been one of these.
Thanks,
