See my reply to you other post of this mystery-object, in the "Relic Ientification Requests" category.
You are doing the right thing by posting ID-requests for your unknown finds. I could tell you many stories of diggers who've thrown away a valuable relic because they did not recognize it as such at the time. Years later, they learn its actual ID, and go "Waaaaah!"
Several guys have told me they threw away a civil war artillery fuze because they thought it was just a worthless 20th-century plumbing part.
