Yet another stumper..for me anyway.

This was not found at my cellar hole site, my cousin actually gave me permission to hunt the yard at the farm house. So far just a couple old matchbox at 2-3" down.

The object in question was about 6" down dimensions are 18" long and 4" high, thickness about 3/8". He was not unable to identify it either so I said I know just where to turn.

I think it is a lock for a wagon brake handle the handle pulled a rod fashoned to the brake block against the rear wheels. the handle had a flat piece that fit in the the piece you found.
