It was found on my block paved drive by my garage, not in the soil.

It's a common or garden U-bolt, possibly from a car exhaust. There will have been another part, usually made of pressed steel with a brace of holes in it, to fit across the open end.
A pair of nuts and washers would have been used to hold the whole clamp in place.

Did you see message #7 Artangel? I added a picture to my message since I first posted it.

It could have come from any number of things I have four holding the axle on my trailer.
