Looks like a squeezebox reed.

Either that or you found Big Foots harmonica!

I know it's not but it kind of looks like a hair clip.

I can't think of what it is, but I've seen tons of these things posted on forums. Seems like it's a part to old wooden windows

At first I thought of a "Mouth Harp"...IDK.
BTW, I think you have a splinter on your middle finger.

I believe Creskol is correct. It is a concertina reed (aka squeezebox).

Concertinas and harmonicas were the Ipods (portable music) of the 19th C. Very popular.

Creskol and DCMatt are correct.

Do a Google search for pump organ reeds.

Google: Harmonium, then harmonium reed.

These were very popular many years ago. There are a lot of different types of reeds, which are similar, but subtly different. Yours is from a harmonium. When you find these, you are hunting the right spot, as these were popular over a 100 years ago.

Ok. Cool. I'll have to get out there again. So many modern bullets and shells in top few inches got frustrating. Guess I need to go clean them up to find the deep old coins.
Found @100 year old president brand suspender buckles same site so it is old. Nice to have another item dating this site.
Thanks guys!
