Found this at an old mill house, the mill opened early 1900's. Rang up in the high 70's on my at pro, seem's heavy for its size but just doesn't seem like lead, also has a greenish discoloration like copper. Not much bigger than my thumb nail, but about an inch long by 3/4 wide. Top barrel part has a hole through it and also one through the middle of the barrel.

Good eye, I thought about it for hours it was driving me crazy. Funny how just a different set of eyes can make a difference. And I can't believe I didn't think of brass, so easy to get tunnel vision.
