I found this chunk of iron outside in the dirt. I thought it was a brick until I picked it up! Our farm is a part of what used to be a larger farm, probably going back for at least 80-100 years so this might be old.
It's obviously broken off at a through hole, about 7" long, tapered from 2x3" at the tip to 2.75x3" at the broken end.

I have not yet tested to see if it is cast iron, steel, or wrought iron but it appears to be sand-cast.
ID? Guesses?
