Colonial Site What is it ???

[nova treasure]

This was found today at a site that produced many Colonial/Rev War finds. the longer end seems to be internally threaded, the over all piece from end to end is about 4 inches, the round part is about the size of a quarter. any help on the id would be most appreciated.
