Cool relic

[Dog man]

It’s a log spike was really freaking deep. Looks handmade. Anyone know how old it could be? It’s in useable shape must be good iron.

Interesting find, I've never seen one.

Could be a logging dog. Blacksmiths made so many things on the fly.....

Yeah it’s a rafting dog for taking log down river. This is the only one I could find online that looks almost identical except the one I found has a cool half twist going on

I saw the twist in it. I have a black smith shop It has a couple cool things. The twist the drifted eye but the real skill was in forge welding that ring together.
Cool find. I have found a few but none like that.

Grinder test will tell you if it it hardnable steel but will ruin the relic.

I cleaned it up a little but I’m probably going to keep it the way it is
