    Any idea what this hammered metal looking piece could be? I dug it at an 1800's spot today.
    It measures about 1.25" x 1.25".

    Most people are born as hunters in one way or another. Does it not make sense that we gather as well. Enjoy the hunt and gather wisely.

    you know, I remember seeing angel candleholders once, made out of metal, that had wings a lot like that.  Could be a good guess actually.

    BP,
    Perhaps it is a furniture decoration piece that was placed under a drawer knob and a small nail held it in place?  icon_scratch
