Could be. Knock some of the crud off and get another pic.

looks solid, more like part of a wrought iron fence than a spear to me.

possibly also part of a sickle mower

Interesting. Someone thought it could be a arrowhead with tongs aswell? Are you sure it's a part of a wrought iron fence?

nope, but size and weight if its solid and close to what i'm thinking would make one heavy arrow. Could be from a lot of different things honestly. got some dimensions for us? maybe a pic with a coin in there for size reference.

Try doing some Electrolysis if you can.
It will bring out some more detail and we will have a better idea of it's use.

I can’t unfortunately. Can barely do anything with it incase it’s very old and the archeologics wants it in. :-/

Posted a picture with a coin and the weight.
Could it also be a crossbow tip? A couple of people suggested it on a different source

At around 150g (5oz) seems heavy for a bolt tip,.

Is the base hollow?
