Looks like an old brass drift pin.

It may be cut up pieces of ground wire. I dont know because we have nothing for size comparison.

From the information given it could be a couple of Cuban cigars! Monty

Ha! T'was my thought too Monty, a couple of nice hand-rolled panatellas.

That is a tibia and fibula from the right arm of an alien, which was shot down by natives.
It obviously crashed in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan near natural copper deposits.

The eventual leaching of groundwater infused with copper molecules over millions of years caused calcium contained within the bone structure to be displaced and supplemented with copper.

The bones were most likely found after the glacier receded and traded to French fur traders, making their way down the Mississippi via canoe on the Lake Michigan Shore, then traded to Spanish Missionaries visiting Louisiana.
The missionaries in turn took them to Mexico. they were given to and carried by members of the battalion Saint Patricio, due to their reddish color.
Where they were lost in a raid by American Forces.
Outnumbered and outgunned, the members of the battalion buried them before they died.

And you dug them up.

Seriously, though. Do you have a size reference?

My thoughts exactly Good one Rando

I found that pieces near of old mining camps. A reference size, maybe a school pencil .

Alex, it would help if you put an object nearby that everyone can recognize like a quarter or a pencil(full size, not sharpened) for a scale reference, then rephotograph and submit.

Would also be helpful if you showed photos of the ends and a close up, if you can, of the metal. Sometimes folks can tell a lot by the pockmarked surfaces, or respective lack there of.

Good luck ID'ing your find.

p.s. kinda looks like a railroad tie to me but if it's the size of a pencil - probably not
