Another good day in my yard, and the creek.
I think this is a broken bayonet, I hope it is. Old shotgun shell case, modern axe head, my first axe head I may add and whatever that round booger is... the bayonet had so much rust on it I thought it was a1" piece of pipe..I proceeded to hit it against a tree knocking the rust off and I think that's where the bend came from. Thank y'all for looking and happy hunting. Ohhh and if someone thinks that's not a bayonet please inform me

A bayonet would have a socket with a slot to attach to the gun barrel. I don't think you have a bayonet. Gary

I think you have an iron spike. A bayonet would be considerably thinner, and would have the slot as Toddspoint mentioned.
