Thanks jghilino, that was helpful in looking at the old ceramic cpu's that are somewhat similar, while checking out that google search I also found I have a rare xbox gpu. I still have questions about my ceramic piece because it has the gold pin down the middle and the cpu's in that search don't, nor a solid plate in the center like mine. I might take Bear's suggestion (when I get the courage) to drill a small hole on the back side and see what it looks like all the way through. I did not find this on a board, I found 6 military grade boards in the same area. This piece was actually partially buried in the dirt and the only reason it caught my eye was just a small glint off that gold section. I'm going to go back out to that area and look around some more in a bigger grid to see if I can find anything else that might be helpful or valuable LOL.
