damaged pocket watch winder was my very first thought. Although I have to admit my first thoughts are usually wrong!

yeah Lee , i'm pretty sure its a pocket watch winder key. |:cheering: |:cheering: pretty fancy one at that , it was probably silver or golt plated at one time. a nice find , just futher evidence to show that there was probably a house site on that piece of property your detecting. :beerbuddy:
