HELP with Recent find on Lackland AFB

[bluezebrasa]

I found this out on the local AFB in SA, TX. I was stumped on what it is and was wondering if someone could help me identify it.

looks like it came off one of them old cast iron picket fences like around a cematary

Part of the space shuttle.

Maybe a gate handle?

Mission style houses had similar iron on door hinges. I looks like the one end is curved where it might of originally been curving

How did you get on Lackland ? Surprising they let you hunt. I was there 40 years ago.

Same question as above.
And I was there 50 years ago-but I don't remember seeing such an object.

It's a spear tip form the ancient tribe Maribubta that came to the American Island from the land just north of Tyriniba. Looks like one of the tribes elder braves property.

It's commonly referred to as: "iron junk". Such things make it into the nearest garbage can for most hunters.

Could be something in the Flechette family.

Come on Tom we're trying to get bluezebrasa a museum piece.

Awful lot of history around San Antonio. Could it be a lance point? Mexican forces used Lancers quite extensively.

Looks like part of a strap hinge to me.....

Or maybe part of a weather vane?

Maybe an old TI pickle killer.....LOL

Getting on a military base is not so unusual. I have been hunting one here for the past 15 years on and off. Also hunted on Alameda air base in Ca. and bases in KS, KY, and in Europe. Food for thought.

I think you have the best answer. I've seen these types of hinges quite a few times. I believe I've seen them on china-cabinet doors or kitchen cabinet doors.
