Dug this today also on the old road. The little loop at the top is froze in place but looks like it was free to move before. I'm thinking maybe part of a bell? Any ideas?

Im guessing the first pic is looking down into the opposite side of the second pic? The concave side? I agree with Taz420 it does look the the ringer from some type of bell.

I first thought the ringer in an old crank phone, but the picture of the clock changed my mind. I think Taz has solved it.
