	Lock face? Part of old padlock? Maybe not? « on: April 21, 2011, 09:57:01 am »

OK... I dug this up last weekend about a 1/4 of a block away from an old Confederate hospital in East Texas.

When I dug it up it was just a hunk the size of a half of a baseball or so.

I tapped the crud off of it and started electrolysis.

The thing is.... I dont see any screw holes or where old posts might have been if it was a part of an old lock.

Heres the pic.

That was one thought I had as well... some sort of chain item....

I did forget to mention that one side is flat... and the top side has rounded edges.
