That's what it is, a tooth from an excavator, and not an ancient alien excavator, but they have time to fill and their audience is credulous so they don't need good evidence of ancient aliens to make episodes.

It's an interesting video, but am I the only one who thinks this wedge looks like a tooth from an excavator bucket?
This is definitely an excavator tooth. The only mystery is, why does anyone, anywhere, pay any attention to anyone who says otherwise?

Yes, it does look like that. However, there is no way they make those out of aluminum. It isn’t strong enough to excavate with.

So does the knee-jerk, "It's aliens!" nonsense every time someone finds something that supposedly does not fit their expectations. Here we have something man made out of aluminum that is "found with" mastadon bones and IMMEDIATELY the conclusion is "It is contemporary with the mastadons!" That must make every dead archaeologist turn over in his grave. Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy reasoning. This was not a careful archaeological dig. There is no context. Someone dug it up. Then we jump to "advanced unknown human civilization!" More nonsense.
Simple answer: It's intrusive. You can get upset that everyone doesn't take your "aliens" claims seriously, but it is still making unsubstantiated sweeping conclusions from nothing at all substantial. That DOES get old.
Anomalous Aluminum
The object is covered with a thick layer of aluminum oxide. After the analysis of this layer, the specialist affirmed that the object is at least 300 to 400 years old.
This result puzzled the researchers because pure aluminum was not readily obtainable until the middle of the 19th century.
Other specialists claim that the object could be 20,000 years old because it was found in a layer with mastodon bone. Perhaps this particular specimen lived in the latter part of the Pleistocene.

An ET ship crashed into a mastodon?
Google says "the object has been identified as an excavator tooth" made of a type of aluminum that oxidizes quickly.
And what pray tell do you think they used to dig?

Something else you may not be aware of is that it is said that the three objects (2 bones and the object in question) were found under like, 35 feet of sand in a sand pit.
Do you just make this stuff up, like the guy who said it was a landing mechanism? Excavator teeth can be made out of various materials, including aluminum. They were digging at a sandy site so it's not like they needed teeth that could handle hard materials.

Aluminum (as well as Brass, Stainless Steel, Iron, Zinc Alloy or Polyurethane) EBT can be purchased on-line from Global Sources in China, complete with a 30 day delivery schedule. They are used to reduce the risk of explosion and fire when digging in volatile environments - such as coal mines, swamps, land fills or around inflammable gases or vapours. And while the total number of volatile environments in Romania cannot be estimated - coal mining itself has been going on in Romania for some time. Many mines have been shut down in recent years due to the fall of Communism and joining the European Union (EU). So is it far fetched to suggest that an excavator - that had been used in coal mining or the transfer of coal - was used in excavating the sand in this riverbank/ sandpit? And of all likely scenarios, did the Aluminum wedge/ tooth simply fall off of the excavator bucket that was digging the hole? And then someone unfamiliar with the maintenance of the excavator found it in the sand.
