Some kind of hook

[Orbitz]

I found this yesterday in a local park, not far from a large one-cent piece, does anyone
have any ideas what this is? I know it's some kind of hook, but what was this used for?
thanks for any help and HH!

I also found the plate in same area

It looks nearly exactly like the modern day "Spanner," wrench, used by firefighters to tighten hose couplings. Modern ones are made of aluminum. Cool find, Sub

I agree with spanner wrench.

Maybe a pot hook for cooking over a campfire?
