I doubt an axe head would break like that

1st - I noticed this was your very first post - so, Welcome Aboard Coolman1! You didn't list your state (or country) in your profile. So, you might consider jumping over to Sub-Forum: Select Your Area.... for information (i.e., clubs, hunts, finds, legends, maps, etc.) directly related to your state (or country). You might also consider adding your state (or country) to your displayed profile (SETTINGS -> EDIT PROFILE) - members may have more success helping you (your location may help, etc.)...

2nd - I am leaning towards ticndig ID - possible broken backhoe tooth.

Welcome to Tnet from Toronto coolman1!

The more details that you can provide when you post in the What Is It forum, is the secret to getting your item an I.D.
Where in the world 'geographically' did you find it?
The dimensions... place a coin or a pop can next to your item for scale.

Unusual break in the metal though, looks blacksmith forged as opposed to hardened steel bucket teeth.

Ax heads do break, I found some on Civil War sites that have been broken. That said, it will pretty hard to tell. What other materials that were found on the site will help much more in the identification.

better pics are needed showing the shape of the hole and the cutting edge.
I have also dug lots of ax heads that broke out at the handle hole , thing is they all still looked exactly like an ax.
maybe more pics would show me an ax but as it stands I'm just not seeing it.

i second the backhoe bucket teeth. the one on the left was on the outside of the bucket as it is worn on one side more than the other. the one on the right was a interior tooth.

First, welcome to the forums. If I may offer a little advice, it is best to put something in the picture so we can tell the size of your item. And, tell us all you know about it like where in general it was found, what material you think it is. I know from the picture your item is iron but it is good to know for future posts. Also post pictures of all sides. Good luck with your item's ID and better luck on your next hunt.

Possibly very old axe head used for splitting until completely useless. I've found a few of those, not that gnarly though. Looks like it was in very acidic soil.
Give us it's story.
Let us see it from the sides, excavator bucket teeth probably won't have the same rounding or open sides an axe head would for hafting.
