Could you take another picture with it in your hand or with something next to it so we can get an idea of the size?

There is a picture with a ruler for the length look further down the thread.

Thanks for all the help on this mystery item

Maybe part of a power company's "pull-down" switch gear. Were there utility poles in the area?

It reminds me of part of a slide bolt latch.

Some kind of key?

Yes, there were some poles nearby but not within approx. 50-60 yards from where i dug it up.

LOL, me too and i have no found anything even close.

A tent or canopy pole bracket would be my guess. The X side certainly appears to want to go into a pole. Does it happen to be the right size to fit into the opposite end? Just bend it around and check
Anyway, it seems like the loop would then be for a rope tie down.

I wonder if it could be an old piton for climbing.

Here is something even stranger...His dad found another item very similar at another park in a different town. He is going to be getting me more images of this and of different angles. Check this one out.

Yes, it is crazy and this one item may just put my in the nervous hospital if i cannot figure it out, LOL.

I visited with my forum member and he told me the ends were the same round and also x'ed

 

[Paleopilot]

That spring and "eye" are very consistant with utility company's gear that can be operated with a pole-hook. I'm still thinkin switch-gear, fuse-pull or hook-pull.

 

[yaxthri]

OMG are they breeding?

 

[milk86]

someone on my forum thought this was from a Water Meter any thoughts??
