Coild it be the bottom of a sword?

[MackDigger]

It was extremely deep and gave a fairly high iD # on my AT pro. Any ideas?

I am not an expert on swords but I would say not. Maybe some type trim to a wagon or something to do with horses?

It looks like a rocker arm from a automobile ( rocks back and forth between pushrod and valve spring )

 

[MackDigger]

It came from my backyard and no horses or cars were known to be there

I agree with ooold man.
Old rusty iron gives a high signal sometimes on an AT Pro

I agree with oooldman- looks to be an internal combustion engine's rocker arm. If you could clean it up with a wire brush I think that's what you'll find out it is.

I'd originally thought of the same thing, but wondered if maybe not, due to the hole being "too round" rather than elongated to accomodate the pivoting they have to do...and the hole isn't quite in the deepest part of the "socket" as would think it would be... But I agree it looks a lot like one... And vote for a cleaning!

 

[MackDigger]

I will clean it what should I use?

The easiest thing would probably be to soak it an apple cider vinegar.

It wouldn't clean up much but anyone else have any ideas?

This may sound funny but if it steel/ iron (check with magnet) you can soak it in automatic transmission fluid- at least a week. I use this method on old rusted files and other old tools and you will be surprised how clean the item comes out- NO RUST. Not real fast but it works. HH

You need to soak it for at least 1 week with Cider Vin.
