Looks like something off a bomb.

Aerial bomb propeller fuse.

A good way to keep people from interrupting you while you dig.

You know what man ?, you might have something there. I like that better than the bomb fuse !

Aerial bomb propeller fuse.

As they dropped, the propeller would turn and screw in the shaft.

I really really want it to be a propellor from a bomb fuse.. But its flat ? And pretty big (4inch) and I dont see any bombs with the same propellor

Just watch how you're poking around in the area where you found it, while I was looking up those fuses I saw a lot of stories about unexploded ordnance that is still live even after all this time. Yours doesn't look flat, it appears canted like a prop. Again, don't hope to find things you may regret.

Thanks for your concern ! But there haven't been any artillery or something in forrest I hunt now.
