Found in a Kansas Cornfield??

[bcreynolds]

These were found in what was once the town of Providence, Ks. If I'd found just one, I would have thought it was some kind of tool. They were all found fairly close together. My first though was golf club heads. There are threads on the tips. Any suggestions?

So.....the consensus seems to be farm equipment. The only thing making me hang onto the golf club theory is the fact they were all found in about the same spot, give or take 30 feet. It was a very small town back at the turn of the century and a popular destination for city folks as they sat in the nearby mineral springs for its' "health benefits." Thought maybe a bunch of rich folk sat around playing a little putt putt before soaking in the springs. If they were machinery, I would expect to only find one or find them much more spread out. But that's one thing that makes this hobby so much fun.........

I think I may have solved the problem and can give you the definitive answer....

A poor farmer was watching, with envy, a bunch of city folk playing golf. How he wished he could join them, but, alas, he was poor and such frivolity was not his to enjoy. Then suddenly, out of no where, it came to him.
"WaHoo!", he shouted. "I can join them!"
He rushed out to his tiller machine and removed some of its teeth. He had the smithy down the lane adapt them slightly. He then fixed them to some canes - ('he split the ends of the canes and, after stuffing the 'heads' in, he bound supple, leather laces, which he'd soaked over night, around the end to secure the tiller bits in. As the leather dried, it increased its grip on the shafts.
He got to play golf with the city folk the following few months. However, his clubs were absolutely cr*p and he quickly became a laughing stock. In a state of humiliation, he buried the damn things. "Ha!" he thought. "They'll cause a bit of a debate should they be dug up in a few years from now!"
The End. [emoji257]
