Yes this was in the same box as the Julius Caesar coin and the coins I am listing currently. Folks you might want to write on things what you collect or your family will have no idea what they have. And neither apparently will I.

Maybe it was used to mix something.

Perhaps post this in the metal detecting sub-forum?

Yes, like on the top of a violin. Wow something like that makes sense. If this was a regular key I'd have expected the end to show a broken off part. But boy this is dead on for what you see on the top of a string instrument. Medieval String Instrument photo below seems to show things like this for tuning the strings. You might have the answer!

You know back in the 90's I did a project where I matched sources of petroleum to contamination at a rail yard site using digitized fluorescence spectroscopy data and some of these early artificial neural network packages that were available for DOS. Suffice to say that unlike an expert system that only knows what it knows, these use weighting factors so you can figure out what pattern you are looking at even when there is not much to go on. Well if you look at the figure below pat yourselves on the back folks because no one can duplicate yet what you people can do as each hidden neuron in that layer is one of your minds and those weighting factors that were changed to produce a path to the correct answer are also your minds influencing each other. So this site and all of your minds, if they could be sold as an application, would be worth a fortune as software!
