This piece was found in a colonial field that has produced about 95 percent of 1700s items. I have no idea as to what this could of been. Any ideas?

Yeah forgot that part. It's 4 1/2" long and the widest part is 2". From PA.

Hardy tool.

That is highly possible! Also found a hand forged axe head. And a handmade reigns guide with initials and heart and moon stamped into it.

It’s a blacksmith tool goes in the top of an anvil for cutting hot metal

I think Mean is the closest. It's a tooth from a plow, front end loader, back home or some other farm or construction equipment.

I agree. It looks like an early blacksmith made plow spike .

Maybe the head of an old ice awl...?

Here's a few more of our finds. Must have about 15 George's, handful of buttons and buckles. The best find was my son finding the jews harp and the spur. We are loving it out there! After the hay field on the other side gets cut it's gonna get even better. The farmer said there was another house up there in the middle of the field, it's over 100 acres!
