Found this on the missouri river near st Louis. Any ideas? 0715171702a.webp0715171702d.webp
 

Kind of looks like a grenade fragment to me.

It reminds me of an ornate piece from a Chinese or Japanese statue from iron. Maybe a piece of the armor on the statue if that is what its from. It does not look like a mechanical component shard or anything like that. Some quick research did not show anything from Civil War era as far as artillery that used a fragmenting charge with that texture. I was hoping that I would find something like that because as stated above it does also resemble a fragmenting grenade piece.

Looks like a frag from an old waffle iron to me.
