    Found today at the park.

    Made of copper, and no clue what it is. Any ideas?

    Kinda looks like one of those do-dads that you pound on the end of a axle of a tricycle, or a gas grill to hold the wheel on. I've just never seen such a fancy one with the checkering pattern.

    That was my thought too, but this being copper with the sharp pointy texture makes me think different. It's also a pretty thick cast piece, so won't bend or form to anything.
