✅ SOLVED First day of metal detecting for me what is it? Looks like a small door

[Hillybilly1]

It is very decorative and from a late 1800,s town in nw Arkansas. On the back it shows 1977 cast into the cas iron. Way too old to be made in 1977. The design inside the Victorian crest looks like a honey comb. Found next to it was an old porcelain cap reading "porcelain lined cap for mason fruit jars with hexagon outlining a star. Any ideas?

An old P.O. Box door maybe?

First of all, for your first find, pretty cool. Is there anything on the back?

 

[Hillybilly1]

I think the 19 77 is on the back I attached a picture of the front just now. I also found a bunch of other junk but this was the coolest

At first, I thought it might be a clean-out door for a cook stove, but there are no hinges on it. So, I don't know.

. Close to it I found this old mason jar cap that reads" porcelain lined cap for mason fruit jars. The zinc set off the detector and I collected all the pieces and super glued it back together

What a great first find whatever it is and the mason jar lid is uber cool!
