✅ SOLVED I hope this isn't a weapon!

I found this today when I went to feed my horses in the pasture. Same area as I found a beautiful Dalton point not long ago, but this is not made of rock. Very heavy almost feels like iron. About 6 inches long. I'm thinking maybe some kind of farm equipment or plowing part. The back of it has something almost like a barb on a fish hook. I'd hate to think of the damage this would do if it was a weapon of some sort. My bet's on something farmish. Any ideas?

I believe it part of a sickle bar mower.

Yep, doublet2a is correct. It's a sickle guard.
