That wrench looks like the ones that used to come with swing sets and bikes to put them together.I havent seen one of those in a long time....

I got a similar wrench with my ATV. Seems pretty common, but good find never-the-less. Monty

The penny cleaned up real easy just some soapy water and a tooth brush, its the only old penny I have with such a green patina.
I found the wrench about fifty feet from an old boat launch, I wonder if it was for outboard motors.
I went out again today and found $1.50 in clad and this old shaving cream tube.
I started detecting at the end of august my goal is 500 coins before the ground freezes so far I have 311.
Thanks for all the great replies.
