found this today, thought it was old drillstock...but it is the wrong side of the river for mining activity.

Is it the breech of an exploded gun barrel. It looks octagon, and I think I see the remains of the vent hole.
 

What I see is the end of a vintage drill bit that miners used to drill a hole for dynamite ... vintage stone drills have about the same shape . Woodstockimages (1).jpgimages.jpg
