Found a square nail a couple of weeks ago while searching cellar, neat finds indeed. Strange thing was I only found one.

I must have missed that one, dang it

We Love Nails Too

I love those old nails! Most don't like 'em but I would dig 'em all day.

Hi, went walking today and found a nail, we are ALSO so happy, IT'S SQUARE, RUSTY AND VERY POINTY. We both feel over the moon that we have an old cast iron nail, we plan to sell it to the highest bidder, please feel free to contact us with your best prices Recession forces reluctant sale.

Square nails are my pull tabs. At least they let me know i might be in the right place. I must say that I do have a favorite or two. This one takes the prize for me so far. Just over 8 inches with a "Rosehead" top.
Here are a couple of good websites for nail information. Helped me with dateing a site etc. Well i think it helped anyhow. LOL!

Finding lots of old nails can indicate former shed, house, barn where the homesteader may have hidden their silver or gold coins cuz many didn't trust banks! Andi
