Anyone know what this might be

I found this in a field where it is my only find that has not been "farm related" or is it?

No idea, but it's sure very interesting.
Looks like you go the relic hunting going.
Keep us up to date on your finds.
Thanks for sharing.

If it's round I'd say it is a plumb bob.

If it's flat it's a rusty piece of metal with a hook.

That's my guess.

Even the "whatchamacallits" are fun to find.....

Were you hunting around Roswell New Mexico when you found that?
You just never know!

I've seen clock weights that looked like pine cones...

Is the very end of the hook broken off? I'm inclined to agree with rmptr that it could be a clock weight. Clock weights have been produced in a great many designs.

It was found behind my house in south western. Virginia.
About 4in deep with a pretty strong signal in all metal mode.

It could be a clock weight although it is flat on the arrow head looking
part and not very heavy. No the hook does not appear to be broke.
