I thought it was one of those things you got cobb webs down with. The broom thing was funny.

Hey Bruce, around here, they call it a devining rod. I thought they were always made out of a willow branch though. I have seen 2 gas welding rods , bent at 90 deg angles, used to find large underground water lines, but never seen devining rods work. Anyway, I don't think this is a devining rod.

| If the forks wern't so long I would say that it was for holding a dog's head down, while you took his foot out of a trap.

Looks like a giant sling shot for one of those tall NBA players. But it could be a leaf rake.
Hey guys I have a good one for next time.

OK, I say you have a leaf rake that has come apart. If this is not right, let's hear some tips.

I left my ditital camera in the camper, which is in the mountains. I'm going to try and describe the missing part.
There is a string that is tied in a loop. Both of the forks have a notch cut in them. The string is placed in the notches and in a metal clip that is located at the base of the Y. There would be a paper tied in the string between the two forks.
Please ask any questions
