What sort of tool is this?

It's an auger tooth!!!
Did anyone look at my link? It is identical.

That is a close match, but not exact.
So let's ask Holly what kind of foundation her home sits on. I'm asuming it's not on concrete piles(pillars), but I could be wrong, especially if her home sits atop soft, sandy, or muddy soil where a normal 8"or 10"x 6' foundation wouldn't suffice. Her piece looks a bit toasty like it's been buried for a while. We shant rule out your guess just yet, especially if there are any bridge piles or towers nearby. Though I'm guessing her piece pre-dates foundation drilling.

I don't think it's an auger tooth.... Though anything is possible. But it's quite different from the pic that was posted.



Here is a side view of it.

I agree Holly, although comparing those examples doesn't prove practical. After all I'm pretty confident yours is not

"Product Description

LOL!

No no, it's the actual product description from the link that Digs68 posted! You're too funny Holly!

Believe me, this wood splitting, pneumatic drillbit, stonecutting wedge, (male) excavator(or hoe) tooth, scarifier blade, hardy, sickle blade, auger tooth is no laughing matter! lol
