Also found was a coin size object with a pie shaped peice cut out of it with a pin through the middle and a peice that looks like it turns and on one side has what looks like the days of the week written on lines and the other side is not legable .

The design elements appear to be early medical. Snake, arrow, wings. Maybe some sort of early medical instrument??

Does the inside edge of the hook appear to have been honed at some point in time?

Is it broken? ...or is this the whole piece? A picture of the back will help us and also a pic of the other item would be nice, along with a coin for size.

Oh, welcome to the forum.

With that notch opposite the hook, it looks kind of like a bottle opener.

My first thought also.
Here is pic of back from other post. It looks like it swivels?

I'm guessing it’s a watch fob from some kind of fraternal order. Victorian renaissance era. They used lots of Egyptian type imagery back then. The winged serpent and the arrow were popular motifs.

The clasp is/was some kind of "sister hook". Two halves interlock to make a loop. One half of yours is obviously missing.

Just guessing…
