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

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

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