Shepard's tool or what?

Hi guys.
I found this kind of tool in the area where i have found coins from 1500-1600. For me it is a shepard's tool used to catch the sheeps and if so, it makes me think that a sheep's market was held there in that times. Do you think the same?
Thank You.View attachment 1311979

It looks very similar to a loggers pike.

Loooong history your digging through there in Italy. If they used those to snag their sheep (ouch) you have taught me more than I could help you with. Hope you find out for sure what you got. Very cool congrats. It does look pretty much exactly like a loggers pike. Scale? How big is it?

Fire poker maybe for fireplace? How big is it?

Looks like the business end of a PIKE to me.

Cool find, ,
Were there any forests and a river in the area that you are searching?

Nice Vince. I believe it is a pike, or other tool for handling logs.

Best of luck to you sir!

Wasn't that called a cant hook or kant hook ? Nope, never mind.

There is a small river but not sailable. The ocean is 300 km from here and the lakes 70 km. It is 14cm tall and it has 15mm of diammeter.

Yes, forests. The lands were lived by romans.
