Metal tag buried in my garden?

The shape of the cutout almost reminds me of a bottle opener. What are the dimensions we’re dealing with?
I don’t think it would necessarily be a good bottle opener. But the mismatched sizes of the “feet” could mean it was hand made, possibly by an amateur? School shop project?
I posted a different thread, and someone almost immediately found it with a reverse image search.
It's a military laundry key tag. It connects to a huge safety pin that hooks to your mesh laundry bag. The cutout is related to some sort of automatic sorting mechanism, there's a matching rail that it goes onto to make sure that all of one person's bags end up together. I'm still hunting for more info on that machine because it sounds really cool.
