Anyone recognize what this is? I think it is made of lead but I'm not sure. It has the same design on both sides, shown in pics, but it has different numbers or letters on both sides. My best guess is a type of fuse, either electrical or thermal melt point. Some water sprinklers use a melting trigger/fuse but this was found far out in the country at an early homestead site which had a modern house on it up until the 1980's. This item looks to be pretty modern, well into the 20th Century. Possible clue: On the same property I also found an electrical ground block, used to attach the ground wire from an electric meter, ect, to a ground rod. At first, I thought the designs looked like threads from a bolt but they are straight across and not angled.

Oops, I figured it out. I should've done some research myself before posting. 
Anyways, It is part of a Split Bolt Connector. Specifically, the spacer that goes inside. Here is a picture or two....

I'd have never guessed with out the electrical clues you gave.
Al Cu means it is approved for Alluminum or copper wire. The back of any plug or light switch is now marked with that. Your gadget is likely for splicing household power to the grid at the masthead above a house it is about the only place you can splice a line outside of a box.
