Copper new or old?

Found in Pennsylvania on a hill area, is close to 3 inches long. I'm think it is copper, not sure if it is old or new.

I really don't have a clue, but it almost looks like the back of a decorative lawn chair.

Did you try sticking a magnet to it?

It is most likely brass. I don't see any real patina in it so my guess is that it is not terribly old.

I would go with what Bruce said. Probably brass from an old bed frame. Not NA made.
