Morning WD, ARC, Blossom

A very good morning to you Sir!

 

[WannaDig3687]

Could be a very well worn sweep for a harrow. Danish style , or duck foot style?

My first thought was old mop handle clamp. But it doesn't have enough ears for spring holes.
Or , a half of a two piece ferrule of sorts. Many of them had lower holes though , to clamp something.

The square head fastener holes hints more of being a sweep / foot.

Duck foot style , I suppose. Thank you. But what’s the deal with that sharp piece?

Show another picture, bottom, side seam, measuring.

OK-Now quits the whinny and suck it up-(8oz. extra XXX RUM)
Have you any other pictures of that decapitated bottle or information?

Meaning the edge that at the bottom.
It's to penetrate the soil, like a mini spade.

Stay safe.

Thanks OV
We got 2 inches of rain, little power bump, but haven't been out and about to see if the trails are open or if a tree has come down.
See on the news that there are hard hit areas, one being where a customer that bought my hay lives.
Seems that they got whacked again, no power, and possible tornado touched down in the area.
I'll have to give them a call, as they run a butcher shop/store that caters to the tourists that travel into a large park system.
The storms back in May closed the park, and he said it was like the dead of winter for customer traffic.

Just one. I am guessing it was like a cologne or oil bottle. That’s kind of what I was looking for out of you guys. I guess technically I am supposed to ask what type.

Meaning the nail like spike. I can’t picture that being strong enough to withstand the soil/clay.

Technically you have to tell us is this 2" or 12" long
Size does matter you know.

The taper of the bottle is jingling some thoughts though.
Just need a size reference
Have dug one similar back 50 yrs ago so the vault door is rusty.

Ok now I see what you're referring to.
The sweep is just worn down uneven, even if it was off a 1/4" it would leave a burr/dog ear as this.
Think of it been longer/wider then ground/wore down.
Them's my thoughts on this

Fishhook remover.Only took a few minutes to make

Mornin all.

Looks to me like a nail fused onto the edge.

Otherwise , no idea how a sweep would wear like that.

Why don't you dig up something about 50 years newer for us to guess at?

I agree
We need something easier to guess at.
