Found this item this past week along the escape route General Morgan used while fleeing the Battle of Buffington Island.

It’s square and slightly over 1”. The one end is mushroomed a bit like it had possibly been struck with a hammer. The other end is pointed, but is also bent.

I put my pin pointer next to it for a size reference.

Civil war item or piece of farm machinery?

If one edge is pointed and the other is hammered I would think it's some sort of gigantic spike! Railroad , nail, or farming equipment? Good Luck!

I'm with Tommy on this one. :laughing7:
It's hard to tell what it might be when there are no visible details. :icon_scratch:

I left it in Ohio with my father. Maybe he will take some more pictures of it and add them to this post.

If you click on the picture three time it gets so big you have to move it side to side to see the whole thing.
