? What is this ?

Hello-

I found this in the woods while detecting. I actully dug this while digging some bottles.

Any idea?

I thought it bolted on a table/workbench?

Thanks for checking it out!

My first thought was part of a bench sight set-up.

Thank you all for checking it out. Interesting whatever it is. Hopefully I will get back there and see if there is anything else that goes with it.
