Ignot?

Found this today. Any ideas? It is a dense metal. Found about 32" down in a crop field. All ideas are welcome. Thanks!

Looks like iron to me. Probably a broken piece of a farm implement.

The teeth on it seem to state that it was adjustable.

Looks like a part from an adjustable lever?

Agree with above. Chunk of old equipment. Interesting though. Nice going.

The stepped part looks like the end of a device called a "ripper". They are used in conjunction with a box blade to rip roots ahead of spreading earth. The older ones differed a little on how they attached and this pic is not exact but many different notch styles were used.

When you strike something really solid they tend to break at the notches...ask me how I know...

...except for perforated paper forms, which tend to tear at any point other than at the perforation.
