Hello Forum,

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I found this thing today, and I know the Pat. Date, but I have no idea what it is. Can anyone ID this? Thanks for looking!

First thought is that it looks like a decorative hook. The details are amazing and well preserved. If no one comes up w/ an ID, it would be helpful to provide some context, like describing the site and what if any buildings are/were there.

Hello Invent,

Thanks for your response. This is an open area small park in a village. There were many old coins found here (Indian heads, Mercury dimes, V nickels), and most likely a house at some point.
