WWI or WWII Thing

[codywhite3914]

I dug this today off of the Neuse River near Cherry Point Marine Corp Base in NC. It has the shape of a helmet but is much smaller. It measures 5" Long, 3" Wide, and 3" tall. It has the Letter K on the front that measures 3/4"*1". It was found within 5 square yards of these 8 bullets of 4 different types. Any help would be great. Thanks

Looks like a smeting pot with one of the swivels points broken off... Just a shot in the dark

I've seen similar pieces years ago. I seem to remember them as a type of electrical cover.

I think your right. Looks like a weather cover for an electrical mast.

I assumed it was WW because it was found so close and at the same depth as the bullets. You guys could be right. I plan to take it to a few shops that sell old war stuff to see if he knows what it is. I'll post later today. Thanks

It is a weather head/ entrance head.

I just googled "electrical weather head" and sure enough that's what it is. I wonder how it got so close to my other finds unless my bullets and the weather head are the same age. Anyway thanks.
