18th Century Ship rigging??

[Humanbackhoe]

Hello

Just found this in an area where I found a 1723 Halfpenny, two identical Pewter buttons, two early
1800 buttons and other iron. I have cleaned this pretty much down to the iron finish. Took pictures just after final white wine vinegar bath. Please let me know what you think. It is unusually heavy. Heavier than all other iron pieces I’ve found.

I think I have the right term but I may be corrected... cultivator tooth... right or wrong on the terms I think it’s farming related not ship

For plowing! Correct? That’s amazing I didn’t even think of that. I bet that’s it. Thank you.
