My son is redoing a pre Civil War house. and has been finding a lot of iron stuff. This is one he found that we can't identify. Found outside with a metal detector. The screwdriver is about 8 inches long for size reference.

There is a lot of folklore involving a five pointed star. I wonder what the hole in the center was about?
