CHECK THIS NAIL OUT

I was afraid to post this because you know how some people get jealous and all.

But then I decided that I shouldn't hide my great THing talents.

What do you all think fellow members of NDA (nail diggers of America)?

I plan to get this monster bronzed and mounted for my office.

So, keep hunting and don't get discouraged!

They say "a man is like a nail, he'll only go as far as his head allows."

In this case we're talkin one big person here! Hummm, not sure that made sense

Oh well, I'm guessing this topic post has run its course

Happy nails to you!

Maybe it was used to hang an old car rim on a tree??

You never know? It's kind of interesting due to where it was dug. I like to hunt pre-20th century sites I can find in old museum photos. This spike, nail, or whatever, was found inside the area of an old photo view. I can literally see the spot where I dug this item in that old picture.

Now is that cool or what?

To me it's not value as much as history. I could buy all the old coins and relics I wanted. It's the hunt and the thrill in those first seconds of the find that I seek.

What the item is is not nearly as important to me as the history represented in it.

Way to go on a cool find.

Happy Hunting,

Wow, you really got nailed, LOL! I once found one 18" long 3/4" thick, I thought what the heck is this? Later found out it is a German beer tent stake to secure the support beams in the ground. HH, Mike
