I am new - no idea what this is :)

Hi, I found this metal detecting in my parents' back yard. Their house is over 100 years old. No idea if it is something interesting or not. Any help is appreciate, thanks!

Looks like some type of crusted up fastener

Can't tell you what you found, but glad you found it anyway.

Looks like it could be the male end of an old electrical plug. Sort of like this, but could be automotive related?

An old lightbulb base?

1st - I noticed this was your very first post - so, Welcome Aboard dxnimay! You didn't list your state (or country) in your profile. So, you might consider jumping over to Sub-Forum: Select Your Area.... for information (i.e., clubs, hunts, finds, legends, maps, etc.) directly related to your state (or country).

2nd - I moved ya from TODAY'S FINDS! over to WHAT IS IT? for more exposure.

Hard to tell from the pics... Maybe the part of an umbrella that holds the ribs on the top of the shaft?

In the first picture it looks kind of like a gear.
