I was hunting a local park that dates back almost 200 years, as old as the town. There are old cannons there and a war memorial and all through the town's history, everything revolved around this park. I found some old coins, some clad, and this....


It looks like it's brass or copper.

It has some green on it.

I put a quarter next to it so you can an idea of the size of it.

It was about 8" down

Could it be part of a cocking mechanism for an old musket or something?

The piece that is moon-shaped looks like it is supposed to be that way and not accidently bent, but I have no clue.
 
There were no copper parts on guns. There were no moving parts made of brass on guns. Gunlocks are ferros metal.
 
yeah. that's true. the functional parrts would be iron or steel and brass or copper would be for more cosmetic. didn't think of that at first.
