Logging...An area is never dug out, since 1972

[lumbercamp]

These are finds from my last couple times out. The first photo shows a few items dug from a lumber camp that I have been digging since Nov. 1972. It is very near my hunting camp so I dig it quite often.
photo #1

A wedge. Pounded into a saw kerf so the tree will not pinch the cross cut saw while cutting down. Very common here.
??
Cribbing spike. Used to fasten timber to timber or rails to ties. Very common.
Some of you may remember the headless bolt remover I posted last fall. It came from on top of the hill beyond this camp.

Photo #2
Hook, common
Ox shoe. very common.
Another cribbing spike.
Point from a peavey. some what common.

Photo # 3
Ax head. Very, very common. I leave these in the woods as there are so many. I brought this home to clean up and use. They are still very good steel.
Chain. If there is a ring or hook on the the chain, I bring it home. Very, very common to find a complete chain here.

Photo # 4
Stove parts. Too common, too numerous here. Too many busted up stove parts at the camps. I bring the fancy parts home.

Those Nice Iron signals have turned out MANY times in the past to be great Civil War relics for me. Looks like you've recovered some niche iron relics for your collection as well
