Homemade File or Saw?

Found in a old foundation. Must have been put in to strengthen the mix. About 12-14". Looks like it was hammered out of Rebar.

Looks like a bolt to me. Why it was flattened out like that I have no idea.

It may have been flattened to "trim" leftover mortar on joints. (concrete jointing tool).

Here's a new one.

This was in an old time foundation. No mortar joints. Just Rocks and Mortar mix. Good guess tho.

 

[mrs.oroblanco]

Just rocks and mortar mix - you clean that out, too. You don't leave mortar mix sticking out on rocks.

It's just my opinion (not that you clean out mortar from rocks too, that's a fact, but the part where that's what it might be used for)

Might be a jointer. Or it could've been flattened to use to anchor the framing to the foundation, but got dropped. I can just imagine the guy standing there scratching his head saying "I know I flattened enough of em"
