Can you figure this one out??

[dirtdigger1581]

I was out detecting yesterday in a colonial field that has produced civil war relics & Rev war relics, Spanish silver coins, early american silvers and various types of buttons, both flat and two piece. While digging around yesterday I came across this piece of what I assume is brass. It has a very deep concave recess in the ball, and the stem is broken off of whatever it was attached to. I could use your help if you have any ideas. Thanks in advance!

Happy Hunting!

I don't know what it is, but if you had two of them, you could mount a 1" rod between them.

Possibly an old car mirror pivot arm..
The socket is where the ball on the mirror part would pivot

My first thought is it looks like some kind of primitive tie rod end.

It looks like an endcap to a wagon/carriage handle. The mounting plate is missing.
