Found this in a river near Civil War activity. May be just junk. Looks like the base ring compresses and slides into something.
Thanks for your help in advance!

Maybe a hardened point from a pavement milling machine or a rock drilling head?

It's a tooth from a trencher.

Thank you gentleman for a quick response!
There is also an old rock mine in the area, so that looks like it.
Thanks again!!
