Looks like a tobacco spear. I remember using them.

Amish Country. The tobacco spear is fitted onto a hand rived stick and "speared" through the stalk of the tobacco plant to string it on the stick. When the stick is full, the spear is removed and the stick is hung on a wagon for transportation to the barn.

WHAT!! I chewed tobacco for many years and never got speared once. Steve I have never heard of one of those things. Good ID buddy.

Could be maybe, but I don't know any tobacco fields around this part of the country. There is an old flour mill next door.

Thanks, that's the first Indian Head I've found this year. I was actually looking for Civil War bullets. I have found quite a few Civil War items in that area.

I would so love to be in an area where CW artifacts were present. But it just ain't gonna happen. Well done

Your one item may be an old clothing iron.

Maybe a decorative piece that went on the end of a belt or leather strap?

I don't think it is an old tobacco spear; I am very familiar with those used in KY. Looks vaguely like a plow point, some called them shovels. Several were used at time, they were bolted on a metal shank, then pulled/dragged through the dirt to cultivate to get rid of weeds. But being hollow in the middle is not common ....
