Any idea on this item.

Found this last week pretty deep on civil war battleground property(privately owned). It's about 14 inches and obviously is charred from a fire it was next to a charred partial horseshoe. Was wondering if this is civil war related??

A spike to hold wood together?

 

[deepsecrets]

Perhaps blacksmith's tool for punching holes in forged metals?

Tent stake ?

Check for silver... might be a Vampire stake made from silver :P

I was thinking the same thing...

Is that a hole through it near top?
That could have held a ring and made it a picket pin. Possibly Reb type.

No hole at top although it does look like a pocket pin or tent stake. It's actually 9 3/4 inches. Thanks

But... I do not suggest you put this under your pillow...

PICKET PIN.

Can this be a picket pin with no holes and way for ring to attach?
