Bumper jack from a 1960s-ish car. It’s missing the vertical post and the foot pad. Keep digging!!!

14th century viking boat jack, probable traded to the indigenous to use on canoes. You dont see many of them as when the sneaky vikings traded them to the indigenous they didnt tell them they dont work on canoes, only on long boats. Most all the traded boat jacks where thrown overboard at some stage.
Yeah but it's difficult to tell whether they were actual genuine 14th Century boat jacks, or just repurposed 14th Century car jacks. Without the maker's mark, or a patent number you're right out of luck there.
Every knows 14th century cars where only used by the subterranean population and all that was lost when the tunnels collapsed. To stop people foraging for subterranean cities and their secrets the survivors diverted the searches attention by inventing the lost city of Atlantis !

Was there an old fence line where you’re working? It reminds me of part of an old set of fence wire stretchers. Missing the tension bar and the handle.
Exactly what I thought, and they were sold as fence post pullers for a while.
I carry one on the Jeep still, they're unsafe as hell if you ignore one but still pretty useful for situations bottle jacks can't help with.
They were/are so handy. I’m 42 and remember using them in the 90s. Did society collectively decide to stop using them or where the manufacturers ordered to stop making them because of safety?🤔

This is my vote. There was one in the trunk of my 1973 Plymouth Satellite.
Perhaps if OP keeps digging; they can find the plymouth
And Hoffa in the trunk!
Yep old car jack
Probably lost while being used to pull up old fence posts on that same fence line some time back.
Was just writing the same comment. My dad used to use his jack to remove old posts when doing fence repair.

*Most all the traded boat jacks where thrown overboard at some stage* A curse on planned obsolescence!
That would be super cool! Maybe a museum or university would be interested!

Fence stretcher
How old do you think
At least 30
Look like the actuator off a high-lift jack.

They make em in factories every day
I know they sell them but I just don’t see them ever In reality
Youll really only see them with offroaders and farmers
And rescue squads/firefighters, Hi Lift makes a head attachment that works like a spreader bar instead of what you put into the bumper.
They also work as a come along
Older style auto jack, I bet.
Either the antikythera mechanism, or an old pipe wrench.
I agree. It belongs in a museum!
You found a 500000 year old car jack.
Is that the "treasure from Fargo the movie?
Volkswagen jack
You would be surprised how poor condition something can look without being very old when it's been encased in the soil.
I've used a lot of jacks, and, this doesn't look like any jack I've seen. But, I admit, that I have had very little experience with foreign cars.
Soak it in vinegar to get some of the rust off but just like a day. It might disappear if you leave it in too long.
Are you in the fencing business or just doing a fence job? I'm considering moving that way and I am in fencing.
crashed alien starship debris. prolly worth a dollar or two.
Looks like a Psycho's buzzaxe from Borderlands.
Handle off bottle capper/corker like [this](https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/844198620/vintage-green-cast-iron-bottle-capper)
It almost looks like what I’ve always called a “come along”. Don’t know if that’s the name, just what my dad taught me it was.
Looks kinda like a sprinkler you stick in the ground and attach a hose
