I found this strange find this past Saturday (8/27) Its 1 1/2 inches long by 1 inch wide found in a grass field near my house (I live in Northern Idaho if that helps) The area used to be a small Horse and dairy farm many years ago.

Wow,, you got yourself an FFTIF.
Also known as "Food For The Imagination Find"
Now if I was to speculate, I would say it is an item that was used during a Santeria Sacrifice. Did you find any feathers in the vicinity?? They like to sacrifice roosters. There may also be some goat heads in the area. lol
Welcome to Tnet and congrats on a cool find.

The back side looks like it might have broken off something. Interesting indeed. I'm anxious for someone to ID this thing. Welcome to TNet!
