looks like a belaying pin but those slipped into the holder. might be from a cat post. wood might be lignum vitae it is hard as hell and lasts forever.

If you could tell us in what context it was found.......What else was found around it.......

 

[GTI2000]

it was found in the floor of an old barn the detector was going off everywhere so I turned off the detector and grabbed a shovel and sifter.

Sure it isn,t hardened rubber? Looks like a nipple for calves/foals.

Good call...looks plausible.

I cut into it and it is wooden.

Got me stumped,looked at rear handles to hay knives,a ferrul would have covered grooves and strengthened area around hole. Of course by then its big enough a handle for a farriers file!.

 

[GTI2000]

a farriers file might fit but you would have to have some big hands to hold that thing. I like what WWWtimmcp said about being a Belaying pin because of a few brass objects i have found recently in the same area matching items from a boat.
