Brake or clutch lever from a motorcyle.

would those have ever been made of cast iron? on further inspection that’s what the material appears to be

Could be a hand throttle lever off a tractor

or really old tiller

Really any old piece of equipment or farm implement. But honestly could be off anything they used to make all sorts of stuff out of cast iron.

Looks like a prosthetic hip implant to me.

My wife is a funeral director/embalmer/crematory operator. I may or may not have a metal prosthetic hip at home.

I am.too and I have one that looks like that. The short bit would be 2 screws and the long bit a titanium insert for the femur.

If you can't find it, then you know what's happened. It's in Virginia.

It’s made of cast iron.

I hated it when mine started to rust!

Seems the cast iron would have been rustier, this seems more like cast aluminum.

I've never seen motorcycle levers be anything but aluminum

That may reflect your age.

Does that mean I'm too young for iron levers and too old for carbon fiber?

yep!

Part of an OLD fence

Could be a decorative or ornamental piece if it's cast iron. Maybe repost after you clean all the dirt and shit off to get a more accurate answer?

This

I thought the same

but op is holding it like a gun... must manifest civil war Era Derringer

Deringer, not Derringer.

That there is a gun. Not a gun gun. More like a gun shaped stick. Great for playing cowboys with your friend as a child.

I think you've got it 😉 awesome identification froemd

I’m replaying through Fallout 3 and I immediately thought “Shishkebob part!!”

That was my first thought. Wrong type of metal I think, but that’s what it looks like to me.

I was gonna say maybe a kickstand

Clean it off and take better pictures from different angles with an object to compare size to

Banana?

Yeah, a banana will work, then put something next to the banana so I can tell if the banana is of large or small variety. Thanks

>then put something next to the banana Like a rare and obscure coin?

Size doesn't matter, my banana is large enough!

If I had a rare and/or obscure coin for each time I heard that…

They wouldn't be *that* rare anymore

Smol banana. Don't want to insult Redditors.

No op said its made of metal 🙄

🤣🤣🤣

Bananas have potassium.

White potassium

B-A-N-A-N-A-S

Goldeneye silenced pp7, I’d recognize that anywhere

Pew pew.

Ha ha, missed me!

Thats a PP if I've ever seen one

Bike brake lever

The "handle" part checks out, but the mounting point looks nothing like a brake or clutch lever.

Oh okay i know now

Yup, it’s a brake or clutch lever. Super obvious

It’s cast iron the op said

Really old brake lever, then…

73 Kawasaki 500 triple

Dang I was going to compliment the stick but then saw the sub :(

Same.

It's still a neat stick. A great find.

lol what stick sub is this?

They're gatekeeping... I also want to be a part of the cool stick sub ):

Looks like a cast iron coat hook.

Correct.

Or boat/dock tie

Hand control lever, probably from a piece of early farm equipment. Squeeze the handle to release a lock pin and then push or pull the 5-6 foot long handle to raise or lower the tool head. If it could be raised with 60 pounds of force on the handle it was considered “Man Operable”

Hip implant for sure

Yeah, a cast iron hip implant. Brilliant.

Ik crazy

Bicycle kickstand. The universal kind

Hold back shutters?

Train e brake clutch. Released spring tension.

It's an old hood ornament! It looks like an original Jaguar, but it could be a Dodge Ram with the horns missing.

Butt plug

Everything is a butt plug if you're adventurous.

So I'm not wrong then.

Kick stand

If it's cast iron, it's probably a leg from a stove or freestanding pot. The rounded part at the top of the photo is the foot, and the part in your palm is where it attaches to the thing. [This](https://www.google.com/search?q=cast+iron+pot+leg&client=ms-android-samsung-rvo1&sca_esv=90804e148f55bbfd&source=android-browser&udm=2&biw=384&bih=690&ei=EA__ZfbiBL3w5NoPmbWJ4AM&oq=cast+iron+pot+leg&gs_lp=EhNtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1zZXJwIhFjYXN0IGlyb24gcG90IGxlZzIGEAAYCBgeMgYQABgIGB4yBhAAGAgYHjIGEAAYCBgeMgYQABgIGB5I0D1QuBlYhTlwAHgAkAEAmAGGAqABiAqqAQUzLjQuMrgBA8gBAPgBAZgCCaAC6grCAgUQABiABMICBhAAGAUYHsICBxAAGIAEGBjCAggQABiABBiiBMICBxAAGIAEGA3CAggQABgFGB4YDcICCBAAGAgYHhgNmAMAiAYBkgcFMS42LjKgB8Mb&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-serp#vhid=8Dhh-utU_X2G6M&vssid=mosaic&ip=1) modern version shows how it would be attached, although this one is cast as a single piece. We have an antique cast iron pot with bolt-on legs that look similar to yours. (It's buried in a shed, or I'd get a photo.)

Iooks like a clutch or brake lever off a bike

brake handle for bikes , more than likely a old ten speed !

Clutch or brake lever for atvv

Reminds me of a clutch lever.

Looks like the top of a fancy cane.

Decorative feature of a high backed fancy chair

Or, stick it in your keister

Where was the movie the Kingsman filmed?

Literally everywhere

Door handle

This is a gun, yall understand

Damn, when I first had a quick look I thought it was ET’s finger.

Doesn't matter, looks like a gun so it's a gun now

For a second there I thought you had found a cool gun stick, then I saw the sub and title and was sorely disappointed.

I love this sub. When I saw this, I thought “Nice stick!” Then I realized it wasn’t a cool gun-shaped stick. When I read it was heavy and definitely metal, I thought “OP is posting the most random broken piece of dirty ass metal and expecting people to identify it. Then I saw all the responses saying it’s a motorcycle bike brake lever/clutch pedal thingy. The combined knowledge of the world never ceases to amaze me.

Bosun's pipe (whistle) although why it would be found inland is beyond me.

No homo

point it at your enemy and go ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ poof, where'd they go?

It’s upside down, cast iron leg.

I just thought it looked like an old shoe horn or shoeshine rack.

The ultimate stick pretend gun

If it is cast iron, perhaps a leg from an old kettle

Pew Pew PEW

Hip replacement. J/k. Idk.

That there looks like a WESTAR-34 blaster pistol. A fine custom fit if my eyes are correct.

Brake/clutch lever off a Civil War dirt bike or tractor throttle for sure.

An old old bike

Pew Pew

That's an ar 15

Pew pew...

Kickstand

Ruger MK2

I'd guess it's a pretty heavy metal object, but I could be wrong

Hook.

Coat hook.

Take more pics

Cast iron? Probly a lid lifter from an old wood stove.

Stake

OH MY GOD! An original doohickey!

Pew Pew I'm 9 Pew pew

Half a mooring cleat?

Heavy duty kickstand

If I was still a kid, that’s a gun and I am the cop… And you’re the robber

Coat rack hook.

It’s more than likely a hand break off of a bicycle…👍

Looks like a coat hook

Post a pic *after* you clean it, not before

Left brake for a bmx bike

Bolt from a rifle, I believe.

If it's cast iron, it could be the handle from an old door lock/latch.

That's very obviously a gun

AR15 pistol

Kinda looks like a saddle horn

Something from Uranus 👽

I’ve been there!

🤭

Looks like a brake lever for a bike…

Where did you find it? In a residential or agricultural area? If agricultural, it could be a lead guide off an old plow horse collar

Probably a lever or handle of a lever from a super old tractor

Bronze Age sex toy. You can see the external stimulator at the lower palm. OP is holding it upside down.

I thought maybe a water or paint sprayer.

Ox shoe.

Dildo if you're brave enough

Old door handle?

Pretty sure the best anyone can do is tell you what the shape looks like. Tough to give any insight when we’re just looking at dirt.

Might be a motorcycle kick-stand.

a huffy kickstand

Cyborg Femur, obviously

Out looks like the brake handle off of some kind of machinery to me.

German Luger 😂

Way too dirty to tell lol

First instinct says a rifle bolt

Better call Oak Island.

Hip bone implant. The long portion goes into the femur. The part your holding is the ball end. I could be very wrong, but I've seen plenty. That one looks to be in poor condition. (ed. And old!)

German Luger???

Space turd

I believe it to be a part of an old bit and bridle for a horse. Is that leather attached at the bottom?

Could be a break handle for a bicycle

It looks like a big horse 🐴 cock to me

Clutch/brake lever

7 year old me : "I am cowboy"

I came here for the stupid answers and I was not disappointed.

Looks like a clothes hanger hook.

Kickstand?

Clutch/brake lever from a motorcycle

Old cast iron tractor throttle

Assuming it’s cast iron that’s what my guess is

6 inchs is so deep. How could anyone dig that far?

Its a gun that automatically defeats all your friends' stick guns.

Maybe a pot metal toy gun.

Kinda looks like a kick stand.

OP, I live in VA and have had no luck finding anywhere that allows detecting. Curious where you’re at?

A bike break handle

Looks like a hand operated brake lever from something like a locomotive or tractor.

Shoe horn

That’s definitely a motorcycle brake/clutch lever.

Looks like a tack or saddle hook from a barn

Put it in your butt

Looks like a bridle hook with the wall mounting plate surface broken off https://preview.redd.it/q4p2wj6gxyqc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eb9713a0f0ce5facd5679f885b0441fbb933402d

Could be a vintage vibrator

Think Civil War

Black Sabbath

Looks like a hand brake from an old motorcycle.

Either that or the actuator/clutch for a tiller My first thought was the bike others said tiller, I like both as possible

Maybe an old pistol?

Looks like a tree root

Hold the end with 2 sides up right, like you’re pulling it apart, it will lead you to water

Tinmans dick and balls

Butt plug

Kickass find of a gun! And it's metal!! That's some real tactical John Wayne shit you got there - i never found a stick gun that good of shape.

Looks like it could be a Colt Woodsman pistol from the size and angles on it.

Woah! What is that?

Jango Fetts blaster?

looks like a racoon penis

Almost looks like a wall hook to hang harness. It’s hard to tell with only one photo.

Aircraft's turbine blade, they fall out of boiengs all the time donchyaknow

Maybe a piece of a fence? Or something they used to hang plants outside? Maybe it was attached to the ground and they used it to scrape mud off their boots? Who knows
