(Aluminum)
This is the normal shape I find them in.
Anyone know what it is.
Nickel reference for size.

First thought, could be a form of J-clip, used to connect panels of hardware cloth, as in building a wildlife trap.

That's interesting. Did you clean it up or is that as it was straight from the ground? How many have you found and over what size area?

Looks like a Tipper Tie clip used to seal the ends on the ends of sausage & hamburger tubes. Tony

I think your right about Tony being right.

Now the question is..Who is the sausage hound leaving them scattered around..near a BBQ area?

Actually no. If these are Tipper Ties there probably 80 yrs +.

Half my township was a bird hunt club from mid 1800's.

Those Ties show up anywhere.
