A friend found this... it’s about 6” Long. What is it

Puts me in mind of one of my morse taper sleeves with the bit rusted in it.but im sure its something else.

Does the hole in the side go through to the bottom of the tapered end??
If it does I would say it's part of a Keg tap valve.

Steam whistle?

 

[Anduril]

Hole punch. (Hollow punch?)

If it's hollow I agree. Barrel tap part.

Here's my various barrel/spigot stuff, never found one merged with iron- nice find!
