Doesn't look like any part of any fish hook I have ever seen. Do you have a size for it? Maybe post a photo with a quarter or ruler with it so we can see the size?

Could be old barb wire.

I get the feeling the wire would have made a full loop. Other than that, I have nothing.

Off topic but what type pottery do you make?

Not much yet. We have just started messing around on the pottery wheel and trying to save money by harvesting clay from our property.
We have just learned how to center, open, and pull walls. It's incredibly addictive.

I don't make pottery but I do collect a little. I especially like face jugs.

I could be a hook from a jig type lure.

welcome aboard and good luck on the ID. Doesn't seem like a fish hook to me but thanks for posting anyway.

What about some kind of small battery cable ?
