Please help identify this find! I am stumped on what it could be

[jasonboise85]

Found in the driveway of a old church that hasn't been used in a long time.
It was built in 1850 in Vermont.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
No corrosion on this at all, but it has darkened from what it used to be.
I scraped the side to reveal that it is copper or rose gold colored material. No green corrosion like copper. I just don't know. Hopefully one of you guys can shed some light on it for me. I appreciate this site very much, and happy to see how helpful you all are! Thank you

I also found this, I was going to ask you guys for help, but after an hour and a half of looking at coin pictures on Google, i was able to figure out it is a Russian 2 kopek from 1815. I was pretty excited when I found it, but very surprised to find out what it actually is. The pictures above, I still have no clue. Thanks everybody

I don't know what this is either? Found at same place. It is rusting and made of iron, painted gold i think.. anyone know? Thanks

Looks like 1/2 the jaws on a electrical grounding connector. The CU-AL means it is ok for use on copper or aluminum. Probably brass/ The ACSR is Aluminium conductor steel-reinforced cable. Used on transmission cables.

Funny I just found a Russian (Soviet) 2 kopek coin this evening myself. Mine is a bit younger at 1982 . I was there in 1991 and although even the ruble was worthless then (1 ruble was worth less than a US cent and the US dollar increased in value by about 100 rubles a day then) people were hoarding these 2 kopek coins and even selling them for like 100 rubles each (1 ruble = 100 kopek) b/c they were the only coins that would work in the existing Soviet public phone booths! So they were pulled out of circulation and sold at a premium, not unlike our silver currency, but for a utilitarian reason.

BTW, for those that don't read Cyrillic: CCCP is literally SSSR (or translated USSR) and KO(Pi)E(backwards-N accented)K(backwards-N) is kopeki (diminutive kopek).

For #4 SOLID wire, copper or aluminum.
That would explain the "4 SOL" and "AL-CU".

East coast find unclemac. Central Vermont

 

[unclemac]

out on the left coast that coin would be evidence of Russian trading posts.
