Put out a little more info. Without givin up exact locations, give us a general idea of where it was found, and there's probably some guys on here that can ID it right away. The best I can do right now is it looks European to me.

fence post nail maybe ?

 

[warsawdaddy]

Wire nails became common circa 1890 - and are the predominant nail today.

My opinion is, it's a cut/bent wire or nail that was twisted at the top.

Anything beyond that is pure speculation.


Hand-wrought nail, before circa 1800

Type A cut nail, circa 1790-1830

Type B cut nail, circa 1820-1900

Wire nail, circa 1890 to present

That is what I am thinking too.

 

[ivan salis]

guessing thinking used to connect wire or barbed wire to post

Thanks Montana Jim for your help

I think it's a piece of uncurrled Barbed Wire the first picture shows a angled cut, not a point

[yo6oej]

could be...

 

[briankb70]

barb wire is not a bad guess

 

[yo6oej]

 

[ivan salis]

a bit of straightened out barbed wire with the end "curl" still in it

Its an alien nail made from 2049 that's what it looks like to me, see the round center of the nail only aliens could do that kind of work.

Keep @ it and HH!
