Ole Stone Wall Finds.

[Iceman-NYS]

Been several years since I have posted on here, life has been busy. I hit an ole stone wall on my property, wife asked me before I left to find a mason jar full of ole coins in the wall, I didn't but I did find several harrow spikes and a few sq nails next to the stone wall about 6" down, I knew it was iron, but I dug it anyway ya got to, got me some vintage paper weights

Nice! Looks like they could also be useful for treating iron-deficient vampires.....

Some may see them and consider them to be junk To me they are evidence that someone had a use from them at some time And perhaps placed them there in case they would find another use for them later in life Cool find I have lots of similar type items just laying around waiting for my mind to come up with a place to use them

Not seeing any wear on them is interesting..

Just in case keep an eye out for other tooling indications.

They seem to be bigger than nails and have no heads. They look like spike tooth harrow teeth to me.
