What is it? l.o.l..
Due to froggin with Coleman lanterns , the slotted hole reminds me of a strip of metal used in thier "frames" the globe fits over/around.
Not much strength with your piece having just one. Hinting more of it just being a tin tab that was in the slot prior , and bent to secure it.(>?)
Could be part of an Edwardian or French sconce of some type?

That’s a toughy bart
With the clip on one side of the bottom side you’ve shown my opinion is the top or bottom of a lantern base. The clip holding the glass in place. Just an off the wall guess.

What about a lid to a beer stein?

Well my metal detecting efforts were in vain today. Found a ton of junk iron and a old canning lid with the porcelain still intact. However something interesting did occur during that time. I had been looking towards where the old barn once stood and thought I saw someone walking I figured eh the land owner out and about checking his trees. Though as I'm looking whatever I saw passes behind a tree and never reappears I go investigate and no one to be found. It was odd my brain may have got tricked by the rows of trees but to me looked like I saw someone in all black walking with their head down. One of the stranger moments metal detecting I've experienced but I don't believe in the super natural so I'll check it off as my brain playing tricks on me in the orchard lol.

Well when I saw it I figured it was the owner. A storm had knocked down a bunch of his trees and thought he was checking things up so I just kind of glanced thinking nothing of it. Looked back up and waited for a person to walk back out from behind the tree and no one did. Walked over there and there was absolutely no one around. Just was odd.

Well all I can say is the fixing part of a cheap fixer uppers, is where the tap gets turned on, and the well gets a good drain. That's if a person does it right.

Jim,
You definitely have to know what you're getting into. There was one that tempted us about 25 years ago facing the lake.
The main structural beam in the basement was broken also they had an electrical fire....it was only about $25,000 more at the time and probably twice as big as ours with a better location.
We chickened out probably should have paid a structural engineer to check it out to see what the structural costs would amount too. It's been completely renovated today and would probably go for about $1.5 million today so about double our place.
