🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Found what I believe to be an iron fork at a late 1700s site. Any info on it?

Found in south east United States.

I added a picture of one that I found on the internet that looks similar.

Thanks

It seems to be extremely old. Was it found in an area where there were early settlements?

I have found several items that date late 1700s - early 1800s. All in a small area. A lot of square nails.

Here are some pictures of stuff from the area.

Yep, 2 prong / tine fork.

Thanks for the further info. Confirms what we all were thinking. A nice, colonial-era find!
