First IHP and a mystery object?

[cabers]

I’ve somehow gone five years without pulling an Indian head penny out of the soil, and today I broke that dry spell! Also fount this heavy brass doodad. I’m guessing it might be a modern grounding cable clamp but can’t find any rounded ones on google… any guesses?

I'm going with some type of lock or latch.

Congratulations on your first. You'll never forget it. Took me 3 years for my first (4 in one hole) then another 3 years for my 2nd. Then they came easily. No clue on the mystery item.

You are correct. Half of a grounding cable clamp from a lightning rod set up.

Was this your first or the first in 5 years? It’s in great condition anyway.
