Scabbard tip....What era?

[Woodland Detectors]

I managed to get out again the other day where I dug the Louisiana button.
Although I didn't find any more military buttons, I definetely dug my share of W.I.I's (What is it's)
Can any one pinpoint the era of this scabbard tip?

Is it a scabbard tip? Almost looks like a linstock end.

Good to see you're getting out detecting Mike Not sure it's a scabbard tip nor a linstock end. Is it decayed wood in the tip?

Better yet eh?
A linstock (also called a lintstock) is a metre-long staff with a fork at one end to hold a lighted slow match,[1] The name was adapted from the Dutch lontstok, "match stick".[2] Linstocks were used for discharging cannons in the early days of artillery; the linstock allowed the gunner to stand further from the cannon[3] as it was dangerous applying the lighted match to the touch hole.[4] This was located in the breech and filled with fine black powder; when ignited it caused the gun to fire.[5]

Thanks Ken!
I believe it is.
From the top view, you can see the opposite end of the "Iron Spike"

I'm leaning towards linstock end rather than scabbard tip on this iron spike tip

The current NC storms should be helping detecting conditions

Ok Mike, I'm probably barking up the wrong tree, but could it be from the bottom of a Pace or Swagger stick . It could answer why the wood is still in it. Modern Pace stick in the picture.
