This came in with the tide yesterday in southern Virginia. Any thoughts? A bit of metal sticking out on the rod portion. Multiple drilled holes approx 1.25" dia.
Shipwreck, Dock, or Bulkhead?

yep its a "knee" --- a bracing part on the inside of a old wooden hulled ship === it is labeled either 19 (lower one-- smaller ) or 20 (upper one - bigger ) on the above picture..by its size and angles I think its 20.--so answer is * off a old wooden shipwreck nearby offshore most likely
