Ship nails or spikes in Abacos...any ideas what they could be??

[besharpe00]

Hi friends, I’m new to treasure hunting so while I’ve been in the Abacos, I’ve been putting my Beach Hunter ID to good use! The past couple of days, I’ve come across a couple different types of nails or spikes, not sure what they are and I could use your help in trying to figure out how old they might be, what they could be from and what they even are. The pictures of the smaller ones are about 5” long and in the picture with the longer/thicker ones, the one with the pointy end is 19” long and about 1.5” wide and very heavy. Any thoughts? I can upload more pics if needed. Thanks - happy hunting!

No expert here but they look like rail road spikes. But I’m not for sure.

Don't know about the big rusty ones, but the smaller ones look like ship building fasteners/ spikes to me.
