I found my 2nd piece of cut RR track from the Confederate camp that I've been hunting. Several "old-timers" have said that these were probably used as anvils.
I went straight to the electrolysis bucket with the 2nd one and forgot to take a photo......including a photo of the 1st piece pre-electrolysis and a photo of both after. I would love to hear other possible uses. Thanks--JB

Awesome! Here is my chunk also found in a confederate occupied spot. Cleaned it with white vinegar and wire brush scrubbings/dremel tool work, then used Ospho and sealed it with micro crystalline wax. You can see how someone beat on the end of it.
