Goodness, Gracious ALive, man WHERE did you dig THAT!? That might be the find of the year, whether or not it has any value in metal terms, that is one unique disemboweler!

Looks like the top of an ornamental fence that got bent. Cool find.

Where did you find it, what metal is it made of, what are its measurements, is it solid or hollow....? To me at first glance I thought of some sort of sword, but I could way, way off.

Looks like it was designed to pick up something hot. Like a pot lid on a stove or fireplace.

Cool find.

Does it look like maybe a pole would or could attach to it. How about some other photo angles and some measurements. Inland or near the ocean. I have seen examples of Boarding hooks (used to board ships) like this.

A cool find whatever it is.

Heck for all we know it could be a farmers cropping tool.

Yes I have a idea ...I was raised on a ranch and if it had a better handle on it it would be a hook you pick bales of hay up with to throw on a flat trailer or just move. Where did you find it ? I live it Wichita Kansas and still own one in my shedd. LOL Don't think it can't be use as one evil weapon! ?
?Hope this helps get your minds working. Because I don't see a handle on it. So I don't think my suggestion is right.

Looks like one of those old martial arts weapons that hit a hard spot in some armor

not a hook at all its a bent top to a weather vein or of the decrative sort for a barn or house............

 

[kermit]

I'm wanting to say this a spear head.? It looks close.? It didn't get bent by being left in the sun to long.

Also looks like it has a blood groove.? If it's not a spear head it would sure make a nice one.

Looks like something to pick up burlap sacks, like on a loading dock. Neat find whatever it is.

Hello everyone, to answer measurements, it is about 7" long, hollow at the base (for skrew?), it is very sharp at the end. I found it by a farm at about 4" deep (pretty deep for that item). Someone on chat suggested it was a hook for hay bales from the 1890's. However I think it is too sharp for that. Maybe a meat hook. Keep on suggesting please.

it is me that said we used them for picking up bales of hay on my dads farm in Texas.
i called him this morning he said that is the same thing his dad used when he was a kid putting it around 1890's my dad said yes the tip is very sharp and he still have them in the barn somewhere.
good luck..
