Dock neighbor went out for a shakedown and found this on the deck afterwards. I thought perhaps it was a leach line cleat.
What is it?

It looks like the batten lock has been broken and dropped out of the jib when it was unfurled or flogged out. Just a guess as I have no experience with a jib batten but the yellow thingy looks like my mainsail battens. Someone here will know but for now I'm going to go find out what a leach line cleat is because I don't know that either.
My leech line cleat is a plastic insert on the leech that has a groove to accept the leech line. When you tighten the leech line, you jam the line in the groove, and the cleat holds it there. A jam cleat.
