I found these today on the site of an old dairy. My hubby said that the large object is a sickle blade. The arrowhead has a hole at the end for the shaft.

Neat stuff.
The arrowhead is actually a common thing on the cheaper arrows you still get today at some places. Now, it may be an older one
But not sure if it has much value. Still a neat thing to find.
Good Job!

that blade looks like one of the hundreds I've replaced as worn on combines, sickle mowers, hay conditioners, Nearly every manufacturer of farm equipment for harvest uses the same blade even to this day.
The one I used on a Massey Ferguson 760 combine is the same as the one that I've put on a 1940s version of a sickle mower and a 70s Owatonna hay conditioner. Drill the rivets out, put on a new blade and pound the rivets flat. I've lost teeth like that when I tried to plow a terrace instead of mowing it!!

The larger object looks similar to one of my favorite filed finds. A plow point. I have found a dozend pieces in one day. Had to dump my trash holder it got to heavy. Looks like you got the whole thing I usuall find pieces that have broken off.

Hey there TL. How's the move coming? I've left a lot of broad heads like the one you have there all over the mountains from archery hunting. I also replaces hundreds of cycle sections like the one you found when I used to work on ranches & a dairy in years gone by.
Has your hubby been detecting lately? Spotz

Nice digs,
one thing these finds teach us is,
always be careful when diggin, never stick your hand in a hole when dealing with the "unknown" because you never know what's in the ground and can easily get cut, etc. and gloves are always a good idea for added protection!

Hey That is a tooth to this nice piece of farm equip.
Back when i was a kid i used one of these out on our ranch.
brings back memories. Also if you have 3-4 of these you can make a really Cool throwing star by (welding or putting plugs through the holes) hehe Out at our ranch there is still one sticking in a tree that i couldnt get out.
