That's an incisor from a pig.
Not to be confused with the whetters & cutters... But equally mean.

Awesome finds, you're lucky to have such great spots to hunt, once again I'm jealous! Just kidding but really really wishing I could find some like the ones you find. :notworthy:

Yep pig tooth, it could have been broken up from a pig skull or pulled by a farmer. Now-a-days most pigs have their teeth clipped and the males are castrated within a couple of days of birth (they have little spike teeth pointing out to defend their 'territory' from their brothers & sisters while nursing.) 3 or 4 generations back people often let pigs root for more of their food before pulling their teeth when they were a couple of months old (they also waited to neuter them, I guess they liked their hams a little gamier than we do.)
