Found in the woods - What the heck is this thing???

[njnydigger]

Found this thing in the woods today. At first I thought it was a fishing sinker, but, methinks not. The hole or looped part appears to be threaded, so, must screw on to something. I was thinking maybe some type of regulator for a gas gauge or something, but, that wouldn't be threaded. It also has an odd angle to it. Wasn't bent, rather, it was made that way as you can see in the pics. Under the dirt, it appears to have a nice, green patina, so, definitely has some age to it.

Anyone have any guesses?

Looks like a handle some type of farm equipment.

Looks like a knob to a sink.

iv'e seen them threaded and go on bolts sort of like a one sided wing nut, or nut with a handle.
