🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Iron Object Found at Neighbours House

[The Shepherd]

Hi everyone, first post.

One of my buddies talked me into going detecting at my neighbours house as he'd found a bayonet from the War of 1812 era on his property. I used my friends backup detector and found this. We are not quite sure what it is. I thought it was a mounted bottle opener. The neighbour didn't think so because of the square carriage bolt hole at the top. He thinks it's a tiedown or anchor point for a wagon.

Any ideas?

How big is it? What does the other side look like?

It's about 5" long and is smooth on the back side.

Please post a side view pic. Also just below the square hole I see 3 (or 4) raised areas. What are those? Anything found nearby? Describe the property (age of the home, is/was it a farm, etc.
