re-post w/ slightly better pics (new to detecting-unusual find)

[BiggieRobs]

Hey, my name is Rob and I'm from Louisville, KY. I'm new to detecting and I found this on my second search in my back yard. 1st search was to just test the unit out 'Bounty Hunter- Quick Silver...don't have a lot of $ Undecided. I went out yesterday and bug a few holes from a few good beeps. About 5 inches down I find this object along with a few nails that look to be horse shoe nails from before there were cars(ill post a pic of those later also. I think it may be something that has to do with horses or something. It looks to be cast from a mold and is brass or copper due to the greenish patina on it and i struck it with the shovel when digging the hole so there is a shinny spot that looks like brass or copper. The item is about 3in. by 1in. Any help would be much appreciated. Broken Knee thinks it may be the foot of an old Transit used for surveying land. I haven't been able to find another pic. the looks the same.

I tried to re-size these things. I guess it didn't work.

The shape is of a guide froman old mowing machine, but it would be twice as long and made of steel. Good luck with it.

wow i just noticed a few mistakes in my post. it says i went out a 'bug' a few holes...lol. and the smiley didn't copy and paste properly and now says 'undecided'. Oh well. yall seem to get what im sayin. keep the posts comin. im curious as to what it is. if its from a transit then it might have been from one used to map Kentucky.

It does rather resemble a leg.
