Metal barrel piece with holes

[simulant]

Any idea what this is? It's 3" long. Hollow on the inside except at the tip.

My brother-in-law worked out in the oil fields cleaning well pipe, they sent a nozzle down the pipes with high pressure water behind, I wonder if it might be something to that effect.Not saying it is that nozzle just on the same concept.

Another thought would be tip for some type of flame device.

Thanks BOTB - good theory - for context this was found alongside a cove so maybe fishing or boat related?

Kinda looks like a scaffold pin, but it's too small

What is the material in the end?Wood,Plastic,metal or being found alongside a cove maybe cork.

Muffler core?

Great question - really not sure - it's very hardened like metal but seems too grainy to be metal - almost like concrete

First off, it looks makeshift, home made
could be used to clean and flush out a sewer line
is the inside threaded?

The inside is not threaded

What type of metal is it, if it is ferrous I would rule out anything with continuous water contact.check with magnet.
