Nope, not a saddle, and not leather.

Nope, not old (brand spanking new), but it does have a protectant on it. And it is iron.

You got me on that one, it's not that big. It was mentioned in one of my previous posts, probably in the last month.

It is a piece of black shiney metal!  I went back 80 posts and didn't see anything >:(

Looks like part of a wood plane...  top of the frog I think it's called?

Nope, not a plane part, baked watermelon, Fence or a weather ballon. It is a piece of shiney metal though. Brdmkr, you were pretty close at 80, there was a mention of it there, dig a little deeper.  ;)

A hydra drill or a percussion drill or something else to drill a water well with.

Bob, you were pretty close. It's a post hole digger for the tractor. The picture is of the very tip of the auger which is laying on it's side. I'm still tempted to use it for a water well, but the shed, shop, and house piers and the fence is what I got it for. Next time your down this way, I'll buy you lunch.

I sure was a long way off to win. If I was pitching horseshoes, I would have been 100ft from the post. 
After you told me, that thing does look like the tip of an auger. It has been a while since I have been down your way, but I will stop in if I get down there again. 8)
Bob-  the winner with a poor guess

Bob, truth be told, the thread was starting to die so I had to do something.  ;D I'll even extend the offer to if I'm up your way, I'll buy you lunch, how about that?
