Cool find, but I'd like to see what the other side of it
looks like.

In all honesty, it's size and shape makes it look like a fairly
modern, glue-on broadhead.

Bronze Age Scrap Hoard
This small Bronze Age scrap hoard metal was detected on land at Skirpenbeck, also in 2018. Much of this consists of pieces of ingots and casting waste and this was presumably a metal worker's hoard. However, it also includes a rather fine fragment of a socketed and ribbed spearhead. The hoard is thought to date to around 1150-800BC.

The dress hook and brooch are way cooler, imo.

Or, maybe the Bronze spearhead has four cutting edges, with the forth, not seen...?
