Mystery DIV XXI Find - Look Familiar To Anyone???

[Valley Ranger]

I found this iron piece at DIV XXI. It looked familiar, like something I've seen on a forum or in a reference book. Any ideas?

Richard, it may be the handle from a blacksmith made curry comb. The offset makes me think so. As I have stated many times, I'm no CW relic expert. The wooden handle would have covered the long portion. I know a lot of Cav. relics came from that hunt. Just an idea. HH, Quindy.

Looks like one of the first early metal detector rods.

Yes, I was thinking a handle of some sort as well. It's a perfect fit in the hand. It was found near a PA Camp.

Hadn't thought of that. ;o)

This must be a stumper.
