It is 3 and 1/2 inches long inch and 7/8 wide.The gap is 1/4 inch. 2 holes on one side. Maybe a handle for something I don't know. Found a round and old home site. Also found 19 0 8 Indian Head 1917 wheat penny.
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.Looks like a tobacco spear. I remember using them.
Early Metal Tobacco Spears Lot of 4 Lancaster County Pa. Amish Country | eBay
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.www.ebay.com

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.Sorry no idea here, but it is a cool find. Good going on the IHP.
