    I believe it's for digging dandelions out of your yard.

    that's what I was going to say also, Dooley. Anything with a tap root would be a prime candidate for this tool.

    Looks like the dandelion tool was forged by a blacksmith. The curved section appears to be forge welded. Interesting.
