✅ SOLVED Found this iron relic and I have no idea what it is...

[gene the machine]

I was doing door knocking in a small town in Texas so I was in a yard. This iron object sounded so sweet to the Deus but I knew it was large and most probably iron but I wanted to see what it was. I have never seen anything like this before. It's about 9 inches long and has a hole that i would imagine is for a wood handle. The only thing that I have seen like that would have been a very old hoe. Any ideas would be grateful.

Far out creskol... thanks very much. I just love finding things that I have no idea what it is... just another facet of this hobby that I love as well as learning things from the past.

They are all correct on the ID. It's called a pigs tail.
