Unknown object

Hello,

Found this on a beach in Algarve, Portugal. It looked like a piece of rust, and it was a little magnetic. With pliers, I broke the rust, and inside there was a metallic, hook-shaped object.

What can it be? How old could it be?

Thanks

Possibly a fishing hook, but not a fossil.

Going out on a limb... it's shipwreck debris... and possibly a tableware remnant, galley item or navigational part.  Good luck with the ID.
