Some type of hook, and mystery glass.

[West Jersey Detecting]

I found this hook while detecting a house that dates back to the 1840's or earlier. Any ID on this?

I also dug many glass chunks like the two pictured. Note the quarter on one to give you an idea of the size. Any clue as to why these glass chunks were burried and what they are?

Sometimes called a Skyhook, we use these devices to manipulate and maneuver cabling, wires, tree branches and the like. Mine (pictured below) is part of a quick-set used with my fiberglass hotstick.

The glass does appear to be slag, as mentioned previously.

Thanks for the post!
