Just a guess but I would say a tine off of a harrow or at least part of one.

Re: here's a rusty mystery....

Trader, I think considering where you found it, Oroblanco is probably real close. I think as likely though it may have broken off a logging hook, as these were flattened on their sides also to take the stress at the bend, and tapered to a point. Here's a poor example of a modern one. If Mojjax can drag his Eric Sloane book out again he'll probably find a more contemporary version a little more rounded (similar a bale hook). http://www.made-in-china.com/image/2f0j00HBFTJZcKlfrCM/Log-Hook.jpg
