🔎 UNIDENTIFIED What is it?

What is it?
Fe outside. Not sure yet of metal core inside. Outer and inner core both highly magnetic.
Please share pics of your comparable.
I apologize for pics it’s dusk outside but will work on brighter pics if wanted.
Thanks,

Metal pressure flaker? Tip appears worked

It's a lead battery core.

Made of iron?
I'm having trouble visualizing how that would be a battery core. Got a diagram or pic? 🤨

Now that core is exposed will attempt to return for reading as well

It's a carbon battery core

 

[ticndig]

type battery core in the search block and see all the ones dug over the years ,I've found a few as well.

Again, why would it be iron? TMK, dry cell electrodes are carbon--not metallic.

BT-DT. Made of carbon--not iron--and not "highly magnetic."

I've found either what the OP found, or something very similar, but it was so decomposed/deteriorated, I didn't try to identify/save it.

In my case, I believe it was a short length of 19th century shielded cable. BICBW

Would you please define BICBW?

Thanks! Appreciate your input and feedback. Looking forward to discovering mineral composition of center core which I’ll share here.

Outer reading has less Fe
Inner reading has greater Fe
I have seen a lot of river iron but nothing like this.
In retrospect, I should have kept it in water at home. After about a month out of water it started breaking away. However, I have kept all air- eroded pieces to the puzzle.

Outer lower iron content
Inner very high iron content
Scrapyard doesn’t know what it is
We’re falling apart fast. Never had river iron act so foolishly. No drops or nothing. Just crumbling. Thankfully we have all pieces to the puzzle.
In hIndsight I would have stored in water rather than air. It’s a Neuse River find.

The outside is brown Fe with Mn
The inside grey is just Fe
