Greetings:
I've been magnet fishing an old, abandoned oxbow where a steamship supposedly sunk in the 1850's. I have found quite a few hand forged nails, dowels, spikes, etc. that appear to be consistent with a steamboat.
On a recent trip I found the below item:
- it appears handforged (wrought iron);
- it is approximately 5 feet 8 and 1/4 inch in length.
Are there any experts that might be able to identify the item?
