✅ SOLVED What is it?

Good afternoon all!
Came across this item yesterday evening and need some help identifying. It has a bent large head nail in the top hole. The area I am hunting was once filled with Longleaf Pines where distillers would come and gather turpentine. Also, there was a civil war battle fought through the same woods. See pictures:

Maybe some type of spike that would go on the end of a pole.

Looks like the end off of a cant hook.

I would agree with capsmith
