You must have had a wheelbarrow with you on your hunt today. A lot of heavy iron pieces. Neat find.

That is indeed the head off an old spike hammer. Even though it's not near as heavy as a sledge hammer, it will drive a spike through and oak tie in just a few licks! They still use them today. Look for smaller spikes with numbers on them. The numbers tell when the track was laid. Very collectable and sometimes valuable. It's not unusual to find a switch lock which is the crowning achievement of MDing railroad tracks. My wife just retired from a shortline railroad! Monty
