Can anyone identify this?

[roberts89]

Found this uknown object today while metal detecting.. Just wondering if anyone knows what this could be?

Not that I would be any help but in general showing a dimension would be good. Will be following this to see what you find out - fascinating!! I'm sure someone will know.

Ok I will get some measurements tomorrow after work. But playing a guessing game I would say it's about 8-9 inches long and probably 1.50 inches wide at the base or widest point. Thanks

Is it the same on the other side?

 

[roberts89]

[roberts89]

I think you've found an antique monkey wrench with the jaws screwed closed and then rusted together, and with the wooden grips rotted away. Looks like the adjusting screw is missing, too. Here's an old illustration showing how it would have looked when new:

Could Be Patrick.. Who knows. Im probably gonna have my dad run it through electrolysis just to see what it really is. I guess thats how you spell that word.. LOL

Without handling it and seeing it up close, it may indeed be a patent wrench. It also may be part off an older harrow or horse cultivators. I have also seen the part of older patent plows that scrape dirt of the coulters that look kind of like this. If you found it in an old farm field the context might help you. I find parts like this every Spring and Fall when I plow. There were hundreds of different patents for such equipment, and it can be a real puzzle. CH Wendel has written some good books that might help you.

Not really found in a farm area, more of a woodsy area. Found actually about 15 feet from the US buckle that my boyfriend found.

Looks like a railroad spike that has been swallowed up by something.

Looks like this if I am guessing. Missing the screw assembally?

Could be a lot of things

Need to soak to get rid of the rust and gunk to even begin seeing what you got...

 

[roberts89]

Well guys.. My dad did the electrolysis today on the mystery object and guess what!!! It's a monkey wrench.. Good job identifying you guys was right.. Bummer

 

[Dutch Mudsill]
