Need Help ID'ing Tool?

Hi all,

Was hoping someone could give me some insight as to what this is - found it in a heavily wooded area in Central Mass. It's about 6" long and appears to be broken on one side. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

An anchor driven into the ground to hold something down.
In other words, a type of nail or pin.
Possibly a wedge of some kind also.

its a log splitting wedge or for rocks if i'm not mistaken.

ya it was for rocks on the side you will notice a piece is broken off. it would of been used to chip away at a block or stone.

Just guessing but maybe it is a homemade hitch pin or pin for securing a door or gate.

Now I never thought of that but it sounds like a practical use.
