What is this? possible tool?

Found this in the dirt where the cows have been walking. There use to be a farm building in the same area. After blasting it I found several holes drilled in it. Any Ideas?

Just a wild guess here . . . . A homemade bucket "tooth" for a front-loader bucket. The inward bent tabs to grab the back edge of the
reinforcement/wear-edge on the front of the bucket; and the hole for a matching hole in that reinforcement/wear-edge to accept either a rivet
or lock pin.

I'd say it was original a steel point mounted on a wooden shaft for something-or-other. Then somebody put it into service as an ad-hoc chisel. The ends were not originally curled (as evidenced by the countersunk screw holes), but got beaten down in use.
