Searching old stone foundations circa 1820s and my metal detector found this iron tool about 4 inches below surface inside a 10x10 foot stone foundation in eastern Ontario south of Ottawa. Any idea what it is and what it was used for? It is about 18 inches long, 3 inches wide and weighs about 7 lbs. Part of the side of the scoop is broken but otherwise in good shape.

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

You're getting close to the French, so there is no telling! Maybe a"Que-becker" can ID it?

Appears to be a mounting bracket of some sort.

Possibly for a gate or shutter hinge.

Good point re a mounting bracket. It is pretty heavy so maybe a part off a cast iron stove?
