Doesn't appear to have the attachment hardware most bayonets I'm familiar with have, but beyond that I'm uncertain what it actually is.

A 2 tine hay fork

That's about what I came up with as well. Something agricultural.

But , hey, they were despirate in the South and maybe someone snapped off a tine of a potato fork and jambed it in a musket barrel to use as a pike when the powder ran out.

We better say that or we'll never see the end of this. ;-) It's a Confederate anti-tank bayonet. Definately.

Anything but a bayonet. Sorry, but there's no way that's anything but part of a farming tool of some sort.
