🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Unidentified Iron Object

Started on a new permission today which seems to be promising. A local suggested that it went to a logging pole. Any suggestions? Thanks for looking and have a great weekend.

Could be a finial for the top of square tube metal fence pickets.

Tripod foot?

What about some type of cultivation equipment piece ? Like on the end ?

Think it's a tooth off a backhoe bucket.

Gare , going with your idea, I just ran across a cultivation tool online called a dibbler. They are used to break hard ground to plant seeds. Although no exact matches in shape, some are real close. Thanks again!

Well it could be a few things... but finial seems to fit my mindset due to its construction.
IF it were a farm implement I would think it would be more stout... IE: much thicker or solid.
But hey anything is possible / probable.

Sickle bar mower tooth.

It may be the tip off of an antique bulb & seed planter, similar to this one.

The logging pole idea has some credence.
Log rafts were floated down the Mississippi River to various mills/destinations. They were lashed together and log men rode on them. They kept the rafts from becoming Log Jams.
Most used a long pole (often hickory) with a metal point on the end. The tool was used to push rafts apart and away from river banks, sandbars etc.
I can’t verify that you item is such. Just that it’s possible and you are in a good area for such an item. Best of luck! 👍🏼
