Eagle what is it?

[Woodland Detectors]

Dug today with the ba-zillion modern pennies and misc. stuff, we managed a couple intersting finds.
I detected with my police detective buddy Mark coin shooting some old house seats (foundations).
I dug this eagle looking item.
Any clues?
Thanks

Hey, wonder if it could part of a Victorian Door Knocker? Is it made of iron? Breezie

Kind of reminds me of an eagle banjo hardware. I recall one posted here on What Is It. Nice find Mike

I knew I had seen one of those before but couldn't remember what it was. I was told it went to a civil war period drum for the rope that held tension on the head. A cool find no matter what it is.

I know this an old post. this is a banjo part from around the late 1860s to about 1889. I research and have been collecting antique banjos. one banjo I have was made back in the 1870s and has marks that tell me that it originally had these type of brackets.
