Russ,
I was wondering if some of your Matador people might ID this part. It was found out by the old Lighthouse foundation in a dense vegetation. Someone said it might be part of the old lighthouse which I do not believe that they made this part in the 1850s time frame. It has a QA/QC stamps on it.
The question is was it from the Matador program? Our Professional Archaeologist at the Cape was wondering what the part was from.
I do not know what it is and was hoping someone from your group might know.
Any help would be appreciated,
