It looks like a square gun magazine release button or part of an adjustable gun slide sight.

I've been waiting for someone to guess this

I like your thinking
I missed that. Did he post about it?
It's a bit petty, but I'm a bit jealous that I didn't figure it out myself.
This makes me think it’s some kind of captured spring push button and the flange around the bottom is to stop it from popping out of its socket. For example a pistol magazine release button like [mention]James Kenobi 1138 [/mention] said earlier.

So we're assuming the flange was snipped off the main square for the V2?
Yes, that's probably what they did.
I'm not saying what it is to give the people who found it first to give the opportunity to present it properly.
Or something heavy above the object that gets slid around. A "foot" for some kind furniture or perhaps for heavy equipment (more likely since you don't want such things to slide around, and this part is knurled.)
I know there are lots of guns where you would push a small spring-loaded button that size/shape to release a stock or release the upper from the lower or something like that. 1000s of guns have buttons like that, if that is what was used it would be a needle in a haystack to find the correct one.
The angled sides and the flange make it look (to me) like it fits in a square opening (or a square hole, if you prefer)

I don't know if hands can wear down steel like that on its own. Can it? I think the wear implies that it was on the bottom of something. IE - Feet for a camera, a mount of some kind; anything to keep it gripped to the ground. Would these then also come in a set if they had some for the V2 laying around and to cast for the bunker detonator's greebs? Or is it just a singular part to a larger thing also torn down for components?
Just an appropriate picture related to a cool story to be revealed later about the mysterious chunk.

If you're implying that Emperor Palpatine is also sporting a Mystery Chunk or made of Mystery Chunks then I'm going to explode.
Either that, or a paint chip.
