✅ SOLVED Iron stakes?

[Tulkas]

Hi,

I found these two iron stakes about 8 inches from one another about 7 inches deep. The were both laying horizontal. The land has been settled since the 1790's and has a small family cemetery with dates from the early 1800's. There has never been railroad tracks on the property and it was once farmed. Any thoughts on what they may be?

Thanks!

Sorry, no idea.

Possibly the teeth from a spike tooth harrow.

That does look a lot like them.

DANG! Why didn't I think of that?!?!? ...And I live in farming country, to boot!
