Big iron

[Kdawson]

I found this today. Looks like it has broken off of something and looks like it was made by a blacksmith. Everything else is trash

Nice find. You found your self a broken hook. They break under pressure. You gotta find the hook part now.

Either that or the biggest damn cotter pin I've ever seen! Good ID, Hiker. I honestly didn't know what it was.

I have found broken ones and complete hooks. It's a lot more fun finding intact hooks.

The eye could be from the handle from an old cart or wagon. Some hit&miss engines had carts with eyes so they could be towed?

Cool old relic!

I searched all around the area. Didn't find anything to match up with it. Boy I am trying, I won't give up
