Update from last week. Turned out to be a part from a P-57D. May have even found who the pilot was. Just need some time.

Did some research and found a spot where what I think, a P-47 crashed. Searched for over 2 hours before finding this. It's aluminum and has flush rivits common on WW2 aircraft including the P-47. I don't have enough to definitely connect the two yet. But it's a start.
