Unearthed in my sons garden, I'm guessing some sort of ground anchor for something, but not seen anything like them b4? That's a piece of 4 x 2 behind them, gives an idea of scale

Not old scaffold feet, or similar?

They look like drain cover keys to me ?

Edit.

Maybe not they would be smaller with a notch on the bottom

field tent stakes?

Camping Stakes?

I DonŽt know how youŽd call them.

I wouldn't have thought they'd be scaffold feet or anything like that, they are solid steel, not hollow, very heavy, & would have thought way too big, heavy for drain cover keys.

Like Angel, I'd wondered about giant tent stakes, like for a marquee, or Circus tent, but then why the large "T" head rather than a simpler round flat head - assuming that's the head of course.

Any railway workers on here, I'd wondered about something to do with rail track. or sleepers, but never seen anything like it in a rail yard

C'mon, LCB, you're not gonna fail me are you???

Just a wild guess from me....

They're not some sort of dibber for planting things are they?

My granny had a wooden fork handle with a snapped shaft. Whe used it for dibbing holes to plant bulbs IIRC.

....like I say just a wild guess!

Unless you want the metal (steel?) I'd get down the local tip and drop them in the metal recycling bin.

Do you live near a canal ? What about home made pins to tie narrow boats too

He lives in Leeds at the top of a hill, so I think any canals would be some way off!
