It doesn't look rusty enough for iron. Are you sure it's not native copper? Looks like it would be inserted into the end of a wooden shaft. It's too big and heavy for an arrowhead. Neat piece, whatever it is. Gary
Contex in where found would help, if found in a crop field, I would lean towards a tine, off a old piece of farm equipment.
Didn’t they find one like that on Oak Island? They thought it was from an ancient spear or something?
It also looks like a tine from an eel spear but then, what do I know? My expertise lies in the area of pull tabs and bottle caps.

Hmmmmm.....It is a Indian artifact your just not thinking outside the box.
Thank you for your answer. Eel tine got me thinking and then I realized that it is in fact part of a fish/eel spear.most probably broke off and was modified by sharpening the other end so it can be used again as a harpoon.
