dug this earlier today, it was full of wood. the last piece of wood I left in, it seems to be shaped for it. only markings are on the inside an looks like some company in Jackson, Mi. any ideas on what this was used for?

Weird. All that comes to mind is the capped end of a pick axe or some other tool.

Do you think the hole in the bottom is a drain hole? Grooves in the wood might let liquid get to the hole.

The bottom piece looks like it was cut from something else and used to make this item. Home made?

What's it made of? What else did you find with it?

yeah I was thinking home made...made of copper, it does seem to have purpose for draining. found it in the woods near by was a dump. found an old paper shotgun shell casing about a foot away. could be the end of an axe or something maybe, not sure. thanks for your ideas guys

First thing that came to my mind also...

The hole could be the drain hole for milk as the butter was pressed...

Grease cup seal that goes on the end of an axle. Monty

Looks like a homemade worm tin for fishin'. The wood would be wet as would the soil (if any) placed on top of the worms - keeps 'em cool and alive for a long while. Have seen a few - mainly used by the old timers...

The hole in the bottom would have let any excess water drain and there would have been a lid as well...
