    My name is Rose, I found this item in my back yard with my metal detector. It was bout 12 inches in the ground and i have no idea what it is. I took it to the antique store in town and they have no idea what it is either. Just wondering if anyone could help me out in identifying this. I think it might be a door knob but not really sure. It is completely solid metal from what i see there are no holes in it. It is 4 to 5 inches long and feels pretty heavy. It's covered in slot of rust do I can't tell if there is any writing on it.

      Hello Rose. Welcome to CW! It would help if you add the length and the weight, and perhaps some closeup shots. Someone will know what this is. Thanks for sharing!!!

      Are there any holes in that piece that goes to the right? The first thing that came to mind is old, wooden door/gate hardware.

      I see no holes or any markings just slot of rust. I will try to put a better picture up as soon as I get a chance

      You could soak it in a 50/50 mixture of water & white vinegar to help take a lot of the rust off.

      To jonima I put it in the mixture I'll let you know what happens after it soaks awhile.
