🔎 UNIDENTIFIED From the pond finds-iron what's it?

[Underwonder]

This approx. 3 inch iron piece kind of reminded me of a mouth harp but seems way to thick for that. Image matches come up with possible flint striker....but I really am not sure. Thoughts!

could it be a wrought iron staple like these: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Hand-Forged-Staples-Pack-ULFBERTH®/dp/B00JDJHPT8?tag=treasurenet01-20 or maybe this: https://www.invaluable.com/auction-...uXsc1y-t4F7NJoDEKuKrrQ7qv4P4vKKMsmSjQITgoQxvR

Looks like a striker from an iron and flint fire starter.

Yes, possibly..It just seems like it would be more open if it was a staple or a hook tonput in a tree...
