Dillard H. identified the mystery object found by Dan B. and posted in my 11/20 post.
Dillard said it is a guard off a sickle bar mower. The item shown above is one I found online after reading Dillar's solution.
Below is the one Dan found.

A shipwreck discovered during a search for dumped wartime ammunition in Norway's Lake Mjøsa has been identified as a local "føringsbåt" from up to 700 years ago. But bad weather has prevented researchers from finding out more.
The wreck, which lies at a depth of around 1,300 feet (400 meters), was found in 2022 by an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) mapping the lake for Norway's military.
The discovery caught the attention of researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) based in the city of Trondheim. But they were not able to revisit the wreck until last month.
NTNU maritime archaeologist Oyvind Odergard told Live Science that he and his colleagues explored the wreck for about an hour using a remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV)...

A stash of 15 marine fossils has been found in a Neanderthal cave in northern Spain, indicating that the extinct hominids may have developed a passion for accumulating stuff in the same way that modern humans collect baseball cards, stamps, and memorabilia. Reporting the discovery, researchers say they currently have “no valid hypothesis” to explain the hoard of apparently useless objects, but suggest that the eye-catching specimens may have been gathered by Neanderthal children who found them entrancing.
The practice of collecting may seem like a pretty basic behavior, but it is in fact indicative of advanced cognition since it requires items to be imbued with symbolic meaning...

Good hunting,
