✅ SOLVED Giant hook? A tool? Found in dried creek

[JohnDee1]

Hey everyone I found this in a dried creek bed. It kinda looked like a hook, and I managed to poke a minuscule hole in it in a different picture. It could be a tool. Any ideas? It was about 1ft down it’s very heavy

I'm guessing cant hook or hook for puling logs. Is there a hole through the round end?

i got one in the barn just like that on a big chain ...beat it into the log and pull it home... no choking .

There’s a small hole. So it might be a logging hook? Or I could have accidentally poked the hole?

I think that’s exactly a match. How old are the ones in the picture?

I don`t know for sure late 1800s

I help run an antique veneer mill at a local Old Farm show. We use a chain like that with a "dog" at each end of the log to level it.
