Found this beside a old foundation in the woods up here in Nova Scotia. It was bent already when I dug it at about 4". I didn't have long to hunt the new spot but I'm hoping there will be some old us coins that got lost along with it since it's was a u.s. railway!
I want to dig out a tag I found a long time ago. I assumed it was a old cow tag but doing some research on the old railroad tags I may have been wrong. I didn't clean it very well at the time to see if it had more than just a big number.
