Need a nail expert

[Crispin]

I found this on the Chesapeake Bay. Anybody idea where it might have come from?

Maybe it held a plank down on a wharf somewhere?

On second thought maybe it was used as a tie-out for a Chesapeake Bay Retriever dog?

I'm not a nail expert, well except when I go get a manicure, but I think this page will give you some basic information about vintage nails. Breezie

The ones with square heads are old, maybe 1800s or 1700s, Maybe from a shipwreck? I find these and small silver like ones with markings on head: SI with pig/ship logo and "P". Some evidently used as coins when there were no coins available? HH Boris keep up the good work with veterans!

You Are always welcome, Is it possible that Thomas Tew and crew hid on my Island? HH BorisSearch at low tide and after a NorEaster all metal and no discrimination slowly. Can you see the Hogge/ship logo? I know Tew was at Bermuda, and they recovered a lost "Treasure ship" They weighed the "cannon" for many days. See Sommer Islands coins and History, interesting! circa 1695.
