Found these in my backyard, live in upstate New York. What you think they are?

Many of these rairoad spikes were also used as attachment points for wire fencing on wooden posts. I used to wonder why I was finding railroad spikes out in the middle of the woods, until one day when I spotted an old post with one still sticking out of it!

Yes, they are indeed railroad spikes. Now if you were in a Civil War camp in Virginia, sometimes we would find them there. They used them as tent stakes sometimes.
