Dug a few old relics and a lonely button yesterday and one find has me scratching the noodle. Just wondering if this would be strictly for fishing or was a small pitch forks that has a barbed end used for something else?

Everyone's right... frog gig! Did ya give up on your rabbit pee problem?
I was thinking flounder gig too. Was it found relatively close to the ocean?
Would work for spawning walleye. (Not legal, here anyway, for non natives to do so.)
Through the ice for pike five tines are common, which yours may have been originally..
A pitchfork has smooth tines to allow a smooth release when tossing. A barb would cause hang ups.
A neat find. The outer tine showing has no barb on it. Possibly worn off hitting rocks in a stream, rather than on a tether arranged to not quite reach bottom through the ice.
