So I was detecting at a closed down golf course the other day, it used to be an old plantation dating to early 1800s. So I'm swinging around random spots. First good target is a putter head, that's to be expected, second was a 1978 penny, nothing great, then I decide to head over to a tree that looks to be well over 100 years old on the top of a mound about 6-7 feet tall. Which is weird because in South Louisiana there aren't natural hills. I start swinging and it's just full of iron, I dig a little and it's brick and junk then I realized that possibly I'm on the old dump pile from plantation. There's so much junk I abandon that spot for now and walk over to a large oak tree nearby. My AT Pro is pretty quiet as I'm making my way over to the tree then all of a sudden it goes crazy. Seems to be to site of the blacksmith when the plantation was there. About 8 to 10 inches down there's all kinds of iron scrap and old brick. Large square nails, flat iron chunks, and whatever this is. I didn't dig as long as I wanted but will return later for sure after some research on the plantation. Anyway, if someone has any idea what this large chunk of what I'm assuming is iron is it may be able to help me determine what the hell I got into.
Thanks
Square piece about 3x3x1.5 inches with a round divot in the middle of one side. For the life of me I can't figure out what it would be used for. The divot is only about a half inch deep.
