Hard to tell from the picture maybe take some clearer pictures from different angle and front and back etc...
Really. It was down Way deep like 10 inchesLooks like an engine part. Sort of like a rocker arm or something primative
Really wow in wonder how it got that deepIt holds the throw out bearing for a clutch. I think.
Oh not at all,Not trying to offend with my motor part observation. I didn't have any other info to go on, like, depth, location, what it's made of. I was simply responding to you question. Please provide more info and the educated guesses may turn to identification and not speculation

it does have those nauchesHello, I wonder if it could be a Civil War fuse wrench. I know there were square slots in the fuses that you would use a wrench to help thread them in tight. Just a guess though. Paul
Yeah,Looks a kinda like a cannon site!<img src="http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=937725"/>
It's brassIt does resemble some clutch forks but I wasn't able to find any that articulated the same as your find. Tried a bunch of different keywords like vintage,antique ,articulating and couldn't find a match, if farming has been done in that area it could be off equipment pulled behind the tractor or even the tractor itself. Do you have an idea on what type of metal it is? Maybe brass?
Maybe...Could be a shift dog from an old transmission?
