Found this chunk of copper at a colonial site, along with 5 buttons yesterday. Looks very old, is there a chance it could be a hand made ingot?
Very old but not sure what it is.

Could it be many pieces of copper melted together in a mold to make an Ingot.

Could be from anything really... gonna be a hard one to pin down unless someone has found or has exact same thing and there was enough of it for an I.D.
Could be from copper banding IMO.

I'm stumped. Copper was used for cookware, tubs, roof flashing . . . all sorts of things. But from what I can tell usually sheet copper.
Perhaps you have a piece from the edging or framing of a slate roof?
