I can see rust on it

Of course you can, it's an historic era artifact. It's a plow share off an old culitvator of some sort. I got some laughs showing it around to friends and family. I guess it lost something in the translation.

no disrespect meant.... but this is a pre colonial artifact forum. just seems like there is 100 different parts on an iron gate that could be portrayed as an artifact of that type.

With the holes in it, maybe an arrowhead converted to a pendant....Or maybe the holes were for an advanced form of hafting using screws or bolts.

I think you have a good imagination. what makes you think it was anything other than a farmer screwing it back to his plow

The holes on this point/pendant have clearly been modified. And look at the patina. This is a once in a lifetime find.
