    Iron knife?

    this along with the other things were found at the local park.
    the long bolt thing is about 3 inches long, the knife about 2.5 inches long and the other thing looks like a buckle, I also found lots of orange clay broken pottery pieces and some white sheen ceramic pieces. thank you ahead of time you guys and gals rock!!!

    Your bolt looking item is, I believe, an air value stem for a tractor. Your buckle looking item is from a suspender buckle. No idea about your blade looking object. Regards

    My guess on these items is an old valve stem (long bolt looking thing), a garter/girdle buckle, and the blade looking thing is a metal arrowhead. Yes, they made points from metal, especially barrel straps.

    Could be an iron point. I mean it does look too thick to be an original point. But, like Havilah Springs said, they have made arrowheads from barrel straps. I guess it depends on the history of the site.

    Re: Iron knife?

    The reason I don't like the idea of it being a point is because if you look at the back of it, where there appears to be a hole, the bottom is bending down while the top part is either straight or slightly bending down. If it were a point it would not be straight. I think it is broke off farm marchinery. And I agree your buckle is more likely from a garter than a suspender.

    Hey GoldenEagle,

    Can we get a close up view, and maybe a couple different angles of the point looking item? It would better help to determine what you have there.
