What is this ?

I was out today and found this. Does anyone know what it might have came from ? It is heavy for its size.

North end of a southbound rat? God Bless Chris

I'm assuming it is laying on a paper towel so it is small... Is the "tail" rusted and broken off or made to a point?

Please put some common item in the photo so we can judge the size.

It also helps to know wherre it was found and other relics found near it.

Guesses will be very different between a beach find and a farm find.

It looks like the "rusted in two" piece of a single tree...d2

Good eye! That was my first thought - single tree hook - but I didn't want to say until I knew the size.

Looks alot like this thing I found couple of weeks ago on the farm - perhaps it is from a chain hook from buckboard wagon? Measures 4" high and 2" wide.

Sorry guys. IT is metal and the point is 2" long and its 4" wide and from the tip of the point to the back is 5". It does look like that piece for a wagon. It was found In North Georgia on a farm where the Battle of Glass mill was. The battle was suppose to have been through this property and there is suppose to be canon balls and lord only knows what else. The metal detector I had was not anygood so IM looking to get something better to use. The doctor said there was a professional come out a year or so ago and said there is a camp sight on the property and I found this close to where the camp site is at . Im going to go back once I get a better detector.

Guys. You're on the wrong track on this one. It is a piece of a flaky, ground-eaten pewter spoon.
