That is two for spring house. The guys at work are guessing moonshiners (home of the whiskey rebelion just 8 miles noth of this site) and the word from my son's future in-laws "something to do with the mine".

With the time change I will not get back to that loaction until Spring. If the kids learn more I will share more. Unfortunately I wil have to put this chalenge on hold until then. maybe all three guesses are correct!

That looks a lot like a soldering iron tip, but I'm pretty sure that is not what it is.
